> The Football Engine is written in highly optimized C++ code, allowing it to be run on off-the-shelf machines, both with GPU and without GPU-based rendering enabled. This allows it to reach a performance of approximately 25 million steps per day on a single hexa-core machine.

Missed opportunity to use Rust for memory safety.

What? Do you have evidence there's a memory problem with the code as is?

Blind language allegiances are useless. All of them have their advantages and it makes no sense to claim one is superior.

Well, to be fair, statically guaranteed memory safety is a completely separate category from potential memory safety of well-written code. That said, the meaningless calls for Rust at each possible opportunity are a bit unnecessary.
