* Garbage collectors often scare game developers since they can lead to hard-to-fix latency spikes.
* Rust has some cool libraries (specs, rayon, etc.) that let you safely parallelize computation.
Over C++:
* It's a memory-safe language, which instantly avoids tons of bugs.
* Library interfaces are usually higher-level in Rust than in C++, for various reasons (sum types being a big one).
* It's a much smaller language, so there aren't any dark corners that you'll randomly be forced to learn.
* It has an easy-to-use package manager, and I'm not sure where C++ is on that front.
