The way the language forces and encourages you to &amp;quot;do it properly&amp;quot; really prevents a lot of lazy decisions that would come back to haunt you later in unexpected ways.&lt;p&gt;The magical part about Rust really is how accurately (compared to other languages) you know which little gear in the big machine is failing. Often you even know precisely why and how it is failing.&lt;p&gt;Precondition for this is of course that you really grok Rusts ownership and type system.</text><parent_chain><item><author>f430</author><text>what would be the advantage of this vs established libraries written in C#? any thing Rust offers that other languages don&amp;#x27;t? website is short on details, would be great if they could display its features.

C# engines usually ship to Windows and Mac - though, in saying that, I&amp;#x27;m not sure if that&amp;#x27;s engine enforced or developer choice.&lt;p&gt;The most likely reason they chose to do it in Rust, though, is because they wanted to and no one else had.</text><parent_chain><item><author>f430</author><text>what would be the advantage of this vs established libraries written in C#? any thing Rust offers that other languages don&amp;#x27;t? website is short on details, would be great if they could display its features.
