Prossimo project aims to replace memory unsafe C/C++ code with Rust in c/[email protected]

A few too many superlatives in their pitches for my taste. Not a bad idea overall, though the bias in favor of Rust is strong. Did it really become the go-to (heh) memory safe programming language for performance ?

Best games that can be completed in under ten hours? in c/[email protected]

  • Sayonara Wild Hearts
  • Carrion
  • Planet of Lana

Oooh that's going to be really handy.

What are your favorite single player games to go back to? in c/[email protected]

The only 10+ years old game I still return to for significant lengths of time is Guild Wars 2. Yeah yeah I know, it's not a single player game, but as far as I am concerned it might as well be. Also I return when there is new content, so I might be cheating there.

Every now and then I return to Magicka and then stop playing after enough crashes. Renegade Ops is also a favorite of mine (did a complete playthrough on Steam Deck last year). It's been a while since my last run of Crysis but I really enjoy replaying it (just the first game though, the sequels did not do the same for me), spicing up the experience with a couple of mods.
