I hope not, this way we will see a bit more of healthy competition in the indie game engine space. This is something Unity desperately needs.

What does sticking HTML and JS into every hole have to do with the Metaverse? It's about Web, not legacy languages.

Moving IT jobs to Europe should be easy. Salaries are stagnant which is surely a sign of oversupply of workforce.

It's like Java 9. That hasn't been released yet. But so is C# 6.

Which language did you switch to?

Syntax colouring would greatly improve readability. I completely understand author's frustration. Modern language is done once there is something like ReSharper for it. Rust is far from being done.

You seem to be coming from an admin/ops perspective. From developer's perspective it's two modern mainstream languages - F#, C# - that can be used on Windows, Azure, Mac, iOS, Android, WP as a well-defined workflow. The best

I am unsure of his rhetoric: "...everything we can do to move forward in games... (1:41)". He is not a messiah, it's already happening, people are using C#, Scala, Python, Haxe, Elm, Rust, D, Haskell to move game programming
