what does compilation have to do with iteration speed? There's a lot of ways to get a similar feedback loop that youd get in something like react, like separating out your core gameplay loop into its own compilation unit / dll and reloading it on any changes inside your application
- jpablo 7mo agoYeah... that's way, way, way more complex than npm run dev
- poly2it 7mo agoNPM is absurdly complex in comparison, it's just neatly abstracted. Maybe somebody will write a cross-platform reactive layer which can compile both natively and to the web?
- ellg 7mo agoif i wrap a bunch of abstractions in a `make run` command whats the difference
- zdragnar 7mo agoHot reloading is about the only difference if you're doing incremental builds. For that, some languages are blocked by runtimes that don't support it. C can do it [0] so it's not a limitation of the static/dynamic divide. [0] https://www.slembcke.net/blog/HotLoadC/ https://www.slembcke.net/blog/HotLoadC/
