Rust Programming in Godot

Mike from Game from Scratch explains how to use the gdau rust project to integrate Rust programming with the Godot game engine. The project supports both GDNative for Godot 3 and GD extensions for Godot 4. Benefits of using Rust include a stronger type system, a rich library ecosystem, and native performance. The recently released version 2.0 includes several improvements like generating Godot documentation from Rust and quality-of-life features. The post includes a tutorial on how to set up the development environment and build a simple Rust-based Godot project.
