Is it practical to create a multithreaded game engine in rust?

1

I am currently creating a game engine to learn about rust, I have made one before in java, and I separated the render loop from the update loop (by multithreading). Is it practical to create something like this inside of rust?

The Amethyst game engine is written in Rust, and makes very heavy use of multithreading (via the Specs ECS library). So yes, this is definitely possible :slight_smile:

In general, Rust's support for multi-threading is pretty good, and a lot of the bugs you'd run into in other languages can be caught at compile-time via the Send and Sync traits.
