jdnxudbe··on Porting my JavaScript game engine to C for no reason
I am not familiar with either Rust or the Switch, so maybe you can enlighten me: why would a Rust game be challenging on the Switch?

As long as you have a good C ffi (which Rust has), shouldn't it be quite easy?

Or is the Switch more similar to Android/iPhone where you cannot (could not?) run native code directly but have to use a platform specific language like Java or Objective C?

I might be missing something, but isn't the original Impact a JavaScript & browser based engine, thus it should run on Android in a simple Web view just fine?
