Seconded, what "sold it for me was this demo of Kraftwerk - Das Model: https://glicol.org/demo#themodel (remember to play with line 14) Since then, I've been playing around with it a bit and found out that it even has a cli/tui [0], although that one seems to have a few more bugs than the web version It's going to be my main way of using it as I don't want to miss my $EDITOR instead of editing on the web.

In Show HN: Billard – Generate music from ball collisions in 2D space
I've worked on Ambient Engine and now on the Bevy engine. I totally agree with these points, very valuable. I only make some comments from my professional (audio) perspective: We need the highlight author's affirmation of cli. Rust's tui (ratatui) is great. I used it to make Glicol-cli [1]. If you are a Linux user, you are welcome to test the music production of the code. Speaking of game audio, I actually think rust is perfect for audio. I have also continued to develop Glicol [2] recently, and my recent goal (starting tomorrow) is the bevy_glicol plug-in. I want to solve bevy's audio problem on the browser. All in all, even though I've had my share of pain with ecs, I still think rust is very valuable for game and app development, maybe not multiplayer AAA, maybe practical apps.
