  • I’ve mostly done hobby projects with rust.

    • axum + mongodb + oauth2 (just basic rest api)

    • rust-bert ( for some nlp stuff. Zero-shot, NER, etc.)

    • Bevy ( I was following a tutorial for a super basic space invaders game)

    I chose rust because I always like to have some kind of systems level programming language on my belt. It used to be c++. Rust had seemed very interesting so I began trying it out more and more. It’s awesome.




  • I’m not a game dev, just a regular dev. I have experimented with Bevy though. The documentation is top notch and there are many examples, YouTube videos and guides for starting out. I followed one such guide that was essentially a space invaders clone. I switched out some of the assets so that it was my brother’s face shooting lasers, and sent it to him.

    At my leisure pace, I finished the tutorial in about a week. I recommend giving it a try. Your first game doesn’t have to be perfect or even complete. My space invaders didn’t even have a background color.
