#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

With the GPU-driven rendering work I did earlier this year and the Hanabi VFX work I'm doing now, Bevy is consistently hitting 120 FPS for me. Looks really nice on a high refresh rate display.
Building a GPU-driven renderer is a ton of work, but the results *really* pay off.
