Uhh no. No that is not “the question”.
My question is “what language will I use to write video games”. C++ sucks and Rust isn’t a great fit.
- 3836293648 3y agoRust is fine in an ecs engine like Bevy. Absolutely awful in traditional oop setups though.
- forrestthewoods 3y agoBevy is very cool and I follow it closely. It has yet to ship a meaningful project.
- aldanor 3y agoNot sure what you mean by "traditional oop setups" and why anyone should care about it, that's more of an outdated design pattern and a bad choice of the past than a desired language feature.
- omgmajk 3y agoI guess Jai aims to move into the gamedev space of this, but the language has a terrible presence online https://inductive.no/jai/ https://inductive.no/jai/
- forrestthewoods 3y agoI wrote a large blog post about Jai. https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/learning-jai-via-advent-of-code/ https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/learning-jai-via-advent... It’s a very interesting language that does a lot of things “very right”. But it’s also a long ways from being broadly available.
- omgmajk 3y agoI like your style of writing :) - I watched a bunch of youtubers use it to do various things and was impressed but really I just want them to have a website and a way to sign up for beta easily so I can play with it too.
