My gamedever wishlist for Rust

So, I'm working on a website/maybe a newsletter while that's under construction. It's focus is on 2d Game Development, and I hope to turn it into an open source compendium or library where the more contributions you make, (and the more you can teach about the language) the more opportunities you get to post articles and scripts. (This is a very brief description but that's the idea.)

Rust is a language I have little to no familiarity with. I would love to learn more about it and talk to people who develop with it. Would you recommend it as something to include as a major platform for 2d game development? Also, is it a "good" engine in your experience?
