I think it’s sad they haven’t released a successor to SpriteKit/SceneKit. RealityKit looks promising at first glance, but it’s definitely AR first, and has some odd limitations like no tvOS. Like your reply hints, their strategy seems

No, sorry, I don't know C well. I was just advocating against abstractions in general. Using primitive types and designing around the data – not higher-level language abstractions – is a nice approach that doesn't get enough atte

Abstractions hide details, and you'll likely need to interact with something the abstraction hides eventually. So then you end up doing one of two things: 1. Learning every detail of the abstraction and the thing it's abstracting

Yes, but it’s all well researched and they obviously spent a lot of time finding a good setup. I think quality stuff like this deserves the affiliate revenue.

I feel like constraints for UI layout have kind of died out. I used them a bit with macOS/iOS before SwiftUI, and found them to be unwieldy. Are there any toolkits using them as their primary layout method?

I think the reason Vlang gets so much heat is that they dismiss criticism and make claims that PL people think are misleading. You can see this in the latest Vlang release thread. I suggest those curious take a look at it and judge for them
