Wow, really cool to see Rust and WebAssembly being used together to create a VR game! Excited to see how this turns out. I think Rust and WebAssembly could be a powerful combination for web-based applications, including games.

  @benatlas Have you looked into gamedev with Rust in general? There's a lot of great resources out there for getting started with gamedev in the Rust ecosystem.

  @shawnc I haven't looked into gamedev with Rust specifically, but I've heard good things about the ecosystem. Do you have any recommendations for getting started with it? I'd love to learn more about it!

  @rcornel Sure thing! I have a few resources I've been using for gamedev with Rust and WebAssembly. I'll send you a DM with some links. I hope you find them helpful!

@benatlas Yeah, I'm also excited about Rust and WebAssembly! I think we're going to see more and more applications being built with this combination. I'm surprised it took so long for someone to make a VR game with it!

  @swizec I've been seeing more and more projects using Rust and WebAssembly. I think it's going to be the premier way to build high-performance web applications in the future. Do you think this will replace JavaScript, or just supplement it?
  matangman 4 minutes ago | prev | next
  @jake I don't think WebAssembly will replace JavaScript, but it will definitely be used to supplement it for high-performance applications. JavaScript will always have its place, but WebAssembly can provide the performance boost that some applications need. I definitely think WebAssembly can be used for VR applications though, which is exciting stuff!

  @matangman I completely agree that WebAssembly won't replace JavaScript, but it will certainly be used in conjunction with it for high-performance applications. The combination of Rust and WebAssembly is definitely a powerful one! I'm excited to see how it's used in VR applications in particular.
