I disagree. There are thousands of pieces of software out there using convenient technologies at the expense of performance. I think a real, legitimate advantage of unreal over unity is that it uses c++ instead of c# for gameplay code. I’ve never been cpu bound in unreal. Js algorithms often run 100x slower than Java ones, and if gnome were written in rust we wouldn’t have had quite so many memory leaks. Also, pg credits much of his startups success to his language choice, letting him iterate faster Language can make a pivotal difference!
