Hacker News is very biased towards the cool new thang. But if you look on StackOverflow Developer Survey 2022, Java is one of the top languages that professional devs actually use in their day to day — far more than Go, Rust, Zig, Elixir, a

I think you underestimate how much money is absorbed by insurance companies, and the bureaucracies hospitals/doctors offices need to maintain to deal with all the different insurance companies.

Keep in mind that Steam takes about 30% of all sales. But good for them! 20 years of work, and their game appearing in the Museum of Modern Art, should definitely result in some financial security!

Not sure about that. The benefit of something like a dumb `MANIFEST.in` file is that it can have many implementations, and many different optimizations, while being absolutely certain that the result logic is the same. Any time you add po

I heartily disagree with this -- anything I've tried to prototype in Rust has resulted in much frustration over lifetimes, types, etc.

> We already have less powerful languages, like C. I don't think this is a good comparison. C is a systems language and operates at a completely different level of abstraction than Python. Also, it's very powerful. It might n

Meanwhile in Utah it’s the snowiest winter we’ve had in many years - there’s been 23 years of drought and this year our snowpack is at 200% of normal.

I worked for Qualtrics for about 5 years - the first job I had out of college. While working there, I thought we were the bee’s knees. But as soon as I got another job, I realized how poorly the engineering org at Qualtrics was managed. It’

Object-orientation is kind of the old-school way of doing things, these days it's all about ECS - entity component system. This is a more data-oriented approach that has the potential for much higher performance when you have thousands

Obviously they're not "growing" water. That's just the marketing spin that the company puts on it, which the journalists are using for the title. The author isn't stupid, like you seem to be assuming ... ? They&#x27

I think the main difference is that GDNative only had access to Godot's scripting API, so it could only manipulate the same stuff that GDScript or C# already could. So in 3.x, if you wanted to manipulate engine internals, you had to &q

Whoa, that's interesting -- does ENet have a good integration with Erlang, or something like that? I'm interested in both Elixir/Erlang and Godot, but haven't seen an opportunity to use them together previously. I'd

Even if they did, what would be the point? The appeal of Godot is that it's open source; if you just want a full-featured game engine, with a large, existing ecosystem around it to boot, just use Unity or Unreal.

Nice. I hope this goes through, although there's approximately a 0% chance that it will, or if it does, conservative justices will likely strike it down pretty quickly.

Why so dramatic? This is only good for Godot. No serious game studios use Godot because of lack of “enterprise support” and console support, both of which this company is founded to provide. More companies using Godot means more contributor

No serious game studio uses Godot because of its lack of console support, and enterprise support. So it’s only used by hobbyists. This company is founded to solve both those problems.

Congrats on the release OP! For anyone reading, if you’re a programmer by training, I’d recommend literally any game engine other than Game Maker Studio for creating your game. Unity is a great choice for beginners that lets you program in

Generally very, very little. You can generally take the number of Steam reviews on a game and multiply by 50 to get a rough, ballpark idea of how many sales the game has made. Considering this game has 3 reviews on Steam and costs $6, it’s
