- kleiba 12y agoWhat does that "switch" mean in that context? He's (publically) played with a lot of different languages because he likes trying things out. But nothing on the scale of a new commercial game, since that's not what he's intending to do any more. http://notch.tumblr.com/post/58707926941/so-thats-what-im-going-to-do http://notch.tumblr.com/post/58707926941/so-thats-what-im-go...
- frik 12y agoYour link is from 2013, mine was from 2014. He sold Minecraft to Microsoft. So he has no pressure to develop games, he does it for fun (little games these days). > played with a lot of different languages He experimented with the Unity game engine and Dart+WebGL - as seen in his Twitch streams and the little games he put on his personal website. Do you have any source for your claim?
- kleiba 12y agoMy point was more about the fact that -- as you also say -- isn't doing any professional game programming anymore. Minecraft was done in Java, but since he's only programming for fun now, I thought the term "switch" wasn't quite the right one here.
