How’s Rust doing for game development?

I was just thinking. Rust would be a great language to write a game engine in.

Pretty much all engines are in C++ at the moment, and memory is a pain to handle in these and they are very complex.

I reckon Rust could give a more modern feel but still have (possibly better, if using certain features) performance.

I’ve heard of Bevy. But I’m just imagining the benefits of stuff like Unity editor like a proper engine but with Rust.
