While browsing Hacker News I came across this announcement of a
physics engine written in Rust. Just browsing through the code, I
noticed that it looks extremely arcane. I guess after awhile it's
something you could get used to, but it seems somewhat ironic
that the author says that C++ will die of ugliness, when Rust
already has syntactic monstrosities such as these:
pub struct BodyWorld<N, LV, AV, M, II, CM> {
world: World<N, Body<N, LV, AV, M, II>, Constraint<N, LV, AV,
M, II>>,
forces: @mut BodyForceGenerator<N, LV, AV, M, II>,
integrator: @mut BodySmpEulerIntegrator<N, LV, AV, M, II>,
detector: @mut BodiesBodies<N, LV, AV, M, II, BF<N, LV, AV,
M, II>>,
sleep: @mut IslandActivationManager<N, LV, AV, M, II>,
ccd: @mut SweptBallMotionClamping<N, LV, AV, M, II, BF<N, LV,
AV, M, II>>,
joints: @mut JointManager<N, LV, AV, M, II>,
solver: @mut AccumulatedImpulseSolver<N, LV, AV, M, II, CM>
}
This stuff is downright arcane. I'd say that D is in a far better
situation right now in regard to being syntactically easy to
parse and understand for the average coder.
