My takeaway, speaking as someone who leans towards functional programming and immutability, is "this is yet another example of a mutability problem that could never happen in a functional context"

(so, for example, this bug would have never been created by Rust unless it was deeply misused)

The constant rust evangelism on this site is such a turn off from actually wanting to use the language.

I would have picked Elixir, but it's unsuitable for game dev (at least thus far)

I wouldn't consider it "Rust evangelism" as much as "not C/C++/any language that makes it trivially easy to write undefined-behavior bugs, evangelism".

I'd be just as much a fan of Roc, but they're not yet mature and actually in the middle of a compiler rewrite (as it so happens, from Rust to Zig, lol) https://www.roc-lang.org/
