Ugh. That's not what I meant/said. What I meant was that there can exist a certain belief that there is only one way of doing things, when in fact there may be several. And there can be a belief that, because one has experience dealing with the most unsafe and bug ridden things, that experience is somehow necessary everywhere and all the time.
Perhaps you might try to address the question at hand, is there a certain amount of machismo re: C/C++ in game dev? Heck, everywhere?
> do you think there's any possible other reason why game developers would choose to not use rust aside from some hypothetical jerkbag strawman that exists in your mind?
Oh, totally. I'm reading the comments and looking for exactly these sorts of serious, interesting criticisms.
However, from what I've seen, some game dev criticisms have been pretty shallow from certain segments of that community. In another comment, I explain there are some game devs that have gone really deep on Rust and have really interesting things to say about it. My fear is simply that the more shallow sentiments of these high profile enfants terrible will take hold, because they often do.
