It is important: I have very good memories of flash games. But those are now unplayable. (Well, I guess you can still run flash. But it doesn’t work out of the box.) The technology in which a game is made does matter a bit.
- taeric 6y agoRust likey won't help here. Will just be in a place where things won't compile in the future despite being the same language. This is something our industry seems bent on doing. To hell with stability at the foundational level. Progress is measured in features. And those have gotten pushed to the foundation.
- cogman10 6y agoI think this is actually a key to why Rust will do well in the (possibly distant) future. Rust has one of the best Lang->WASM stories out there. The thing that made Flash games so popular was the "You just load up the page in your browser". I see rust fitting very well into that role in the future. Further, because WASM is a part of the web standard, I don't see it going away anytime soon. Those WASM games will work for a long time into the future.
