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.
The Bevy Metrics dashboard is now live at metrics.bevy.org!
For each Bevy commit this tracks compile times, binary size, and runs stress tests on standardized, real gaming hardware. These are all graphed to identify historical trends and track down commits that improve or regress the state of Bevy!

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.

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>.

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.

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:

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

I've been working on a #beatsaber map viewer (and hopefully one day, editor) that supports V3/group lighting. Still has a long way to go, but I think I finally have a promising design.
