How often do you start a new project? At work, me and my team maintain two existing products, both written (primarily) in Go. It would be bonkers for us to--once a year--consider "what if we threw out all of the existing code and re-i

I had been lead to believe that it's a source-port + remaster, not a full remake. But IDK. Likewise, I assume the Doom 64 release is a source-port, not emulated.
