Valve please rewrite the whole source engine in rust (rust is very easy)

I think rewriting the source engine purely in rust would be a good idea. Because rust is really the most superior programming language out there.

It would really help with the performance and its just very easy to write in, so I think valve should switch to rust programming.

Can we start the Holywar? I mean C# is better
Can you like name 10 Steam games made in Rust after 2023?

You're all wrong of course.

Everyone knows that Minecraft, one of the most popular games of all time, was originally developed in Java. So obviously Valve should build on that proven success and switch to Java as well.

And we all know Java has nothing to do with Javascript, but Javascript is now the most used language, so the Source engine should be re-written in Javascript.

Source engine should be rewritten in BASIC since it's the only programming language I learned how to use as a kid and therefor it's superior.

While we’re at it, can we talk about adding support for playing source engine games using Kubernetes? I’d like my gameplay sessions to be fault-tolerant and scale with my gaming demands.

Source Engine should be rewritten in David Morgan-Mar's BIT, because it aims to:

Extend the ease of string processing in C to other, more basic, data types such as integers.
Extend the terseness of COBOL to more fundamental code constructs, such as numeric literals.

Why Unity?

No.
