Given my experience with Bevy this doesn't happen very often, if ever.
The only challenge is not having an ecosystem with ready made everything like you do in "batteries included" frameworks. You are basically building a game engine and a game at the same time.
We need a commercial engine in Rust or a decade of OSS work. But what features will be considered standard in Unreal Engine 2035?
Nobody is going to be writing code in 2035
Long bet: people are going to write much more code in 2035 than today. It's just going to be very different.
(For the record software development has nothing to do now with how it looked when I started in 2003, plenty of things have revolutionized the way we write code (especially Github) and made us an order of magnitude more productive at least. Yet the number of developer has skyrocketed. I don't expect this trend to stop, AI is yet another productivity boost in an industry that already faced a lot of them in recent time.
