Thanks. Apparently fallout4 has a bunch of bugs on higher-end PCs because and I was wondering why they would couple things like that. I guess the harsh restrictions of gamedev explain it a bit then... btw, I think this is the video the parent mentioned, in case anyone is interested: [this video]

on HN thread Ask HN: Will Rust ever become a mainstream systems programming language?
Are there any AAA game studios using or evaluating Rust yet? I saw some GDC talks about the multithreaded game engine for Bungie's Destiny game. Given the debugging and QA challenges of their multithreaded architecture, something like Rust's ownership model seems like a good fit. Does the Rust toolchain support Xbox and PlayStation? * Destiny's Multithreaded Rendering Architecture: [this video] * Multithreading the Entire Destiny Engine: [link]

on HN thread An Introduction to Data Oriented Design with Rust
I believe it’s only been mentioned in passing and likely will be talked about at conferences soonish. Here’s a HN thread from when it was first talked about: [link] There was an early talk about using a job system to run the Destiny renderer and then this one for the whole engine which is a very similar premise to the way DOOM(2016) and then DOOM Eternal evolved. [link] The renderer talk is here: [this video]
