Bevy's Sixth Birthday

Hey! @cart here (Bevy's creator and Project Lead). It is crazy to say it, but Bevy is six years old now! As is tradition, I will take this as a chance…

Carter interactions. Going forward, I will try my best to be your friend and ally, not some aloof technical adversary you need to contend with. I love what we have built together and I can't wait for what's next :) (3/3)

in favor of a cold, detached, technical focus. This isn't a good way to live, and it isn't the tone I want to set for what it means to be a member of the Bevy community, let alone a leader of it. It wasn't always this way. I'm sure many of your remember the "good old days" of ... (2/3)

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 29/07/2026

A quick note to the #Bevy community: for awhile now managing the many responsibilities of leading Bevy has made me retreat further and further into myself. The boundaries have protected me, but I've lost much of the lightness and joy in my day to day interactions with the community... (1/3)

Being a professional “no” and “not like that” person is one of the hardest aspects of the job for me. A completely necessary one, but it is hard to not feel like a curmudgeon.

It is high time we started tracking these things as a matter of course in a standardized way. This has already caught a ton of regressions.

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 04/12/2025

I've read doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/phan... and rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/0738-va... Some of the rationale behind not defaulting feels wild to me, given how clunky and common it is in practice. "Phantom type parameters occur relatively rarely anyhow" does not ring true to me.

070

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 04/12/2025

In a language where you can define some Foo trait for behaviors that don't take "self" as a parameter (ex: Foo::do_thing()), it feels pretty wild to me that being generic on that behavior requires anything more than specifying that you want MyType<T: Foo>.

140

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 04/12/2025

Can someone explain to me why the PhantomData<fn() -> T> behavior cannot be the default implied behavior for unused types in Rust? (aka: pretend T is not stored on the type ... because it isn't). PhantomData comes up constantly for me in safe code and it feels SO clunky to me.

They can advocate to other maintainers to cut one of us They can stop funding the Bevy Foundation They can move contributions / development activity elsewhere

050

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 09/09/2025

One key distinction is that the Bevy Foundation is controlled 100% by the maintainers (by nature of being them). The board can depose me or you at any time. Which is good. The community at large has less direct levers to pull:

171

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 09/09/2025

Yeah I'd say we're pretty pirate-ey. Community-driven, consensus focused development. Equal (and modest) pay of Bevy Foundation employees. The less fun "keep things running/moving" work falls on Foundation employees if nobody else does it. The Foundation board is every maintainer and nobody else.

Not quite sure how this happened, but I just noticed our margins are a bit of a stretch of the stated "~$3": hoodie is $3.98, crewneck is $4.73, and Tee is $4.08. I'll personally Venmo or Paypal anyone that wants a refund of the difference: forward cart@bevy.org your receipt, and your relevant info

Nope! We’ve always used bevyengine.org. Bevy.org was owned by someone else, and until recently they were not responding to our offers.

Looks like the same pattern my last triplanar mapped shader left on a sphere, so either it’s right or we’re both wrong :) Takes me back. That was long before Bevy.

All this chatter about how Rust is supposedly bad for game development is the exact same chatter I used to read about how Rust is bad for server-side apps, or desktop apps, or OS kernels, or libraries to be called from C, etc. etc. 1/2

Really excited about this release. The performance wins were HUGE this cycle, and we've made a lot of progress on the app development user experience.

Did some work on Bevy's catch-all (anyhow-style) error type today. I figured we might as well take advantage of the fact that we can be opinionated and fix the "stack trace noise problem". If you're familiar with the current state of affairs this will look blissfully simple to you. #bevy

My ECS Relationships PR just landed in #bevy! In addition to vastly improving Bevy's built in Parent/Children system, it also opens the doors to custom user-defined relationships, enabling people to easily "connect" entities to each other. Next for me is reactivity and Bevy's new scene system!

This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities ...

We usually do official Bevy Jams every other release. We had one after the last release, so the normal pattern would be next release. That being said, its not a hard and fast rule!

This sheds the inefficiencies (and moral failings) of our past and allows us to build a form of communication (and a society) that our children and our children's children can be proud of.

160

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 30/11/2024

This allows us to immediately start honestly communicating with each other. This is better than nothing, but I think we should fundamentally rethink our language with the "real letters" at its core: A, E, F, H, I, L, M, N, O, R, S, U, X.

150

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 30/11/2024

I don't like identifying problems without providing solutions. I think a good first step would be to replace "fake" letters with their equivalents. For example, the last sentence would be "I ehina a eooe firse seee uoule ee eo reelaee "faae" leeeers wieh eheir euuiealenes".

Carter Anderson @cart.work · 30/11/2024

I don't want to irresponsibly throw around conclusions when I haven't finished my analysis, but I suspect that this weak foundation resulted in the decline of western civilization that we've seen over the last 2000 years. This will likely lead to its ultimate collapse.
