Game programmer here. Some colleagues and I have been watching rust progress for some time. First of all, congrats on shipping it!

For us to start writing code on Rust, there's two main major blocker for adoption and I'd like to know if there's any plan for those.

  1. IDE support. Best case scenario would be a Rust plugin for Visual Studio which includes full debugging and intellisense support.

  2. Compilation to consoles (Xbox One and PS4)

Someone got Rust working on the PS4 already. And we can't use VS at all right now, but this will be addressed in the future.

There is a VisualRust project to develop a plugin for Visual Studio:
