Duck Typing in Piston: Experimenting with Abstractions for Game Dev in Rust (piston.rs)
7 points by kibwen on Feb 10, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment


In yesterday's Hematite thread I mentioned how the Piston project is a community effort to explore idiomatic approaches to game development in Rust, and today Sven Nilsen just so happens to grace us with an example. :)

Beyond the specific application of game development in Rust, I think this serves as a great example of how new languages impose novel restrictions that force us to rethink how we model things which seem so straightforward in more familiar languages. Whether or not the benefits are worth such efforts is ultimately an exercise for the reader!
