It has no GC so yes. There are bindings for SDL, that's all you need.

No. Game development prioritizes performance for the core engine and fast iteration for scripting. Rust gives you the worst of both worlds, because you have slow compilation every time you change things, and you still have to drop down to C for your critical loops.

Just use c++ or c# or god forbid he. Everything else is garbage.

is only good for tranny commies. use a proper language that's developed on technical merit and not cultural marxism

Nope.

No.

Yes, if you want a game that can only run on a desktop.
James Jenkins
Why would you want a game to run on anything else?
Jonathan Lewis
No, borrow checker will rape you
Adam Phillips
Some people like to play on their watches
Ayden Kelly
lol, that's not bait, you really are a manchild if you are an adult who even thinks about making/playing videogames.

Because working on SQL statements for some boring accounting application is so much more rewarding
Colton Jones

^This if you enjoy your ass being disciplined by the borrow checker instead of focusing on the game

if you want to make an indie game, you can use pretty much any language. people used to make thousands of games in shitty languages like flash.
so just use whichever language you know / want to learn.
