I was generally frustrated with the parade of posts about how bad Godot is from former Unity devs. This happened to be the article that I commented on.

I appreciate that the author crossed out his suggestion to remove gdscript vs removing it. I will give him credit for transparency. That doesn’t negate the original intent. I am aware of the part about how this affects bindings for all lang

I am so glad that Juan et al are leading Godot and not me because frankly I would be offended by all of this. It hasn’t been a week since the Unity fiasco and all I see is post after post from people complaining that Godot isn’t c# enough.

How many users that are happy with gdscript are taking time to read vote in a GitHub polling posted about c# issues?

Unity may have damaged themself enough with this that AppLovin might get another chance to buy. Unity’s stock price has dropped 8% since this was announced. Another fun fact, the Unity CEO and several board members sold some of their stocks

True, acid rain was not caused my lead but there was public and industry resistance to requiring all vehicles use catalytic converters. Lead had to be removed from fuel because it corroded the catalytic converter. It was chaotic for several

I only hobby in game dev. I have read some basics of ECS and IMO it seems a lot more intuitive than the “normal approach”. I think this is a case of using familiar tools we are comfortable with, not necessarily better. Unity’s ECS implement

Human civilization made it all the way to 1990’s without commercial internet. Maybe keeping children off the internet would make them better prepared for society.

Not the OP but I do run Teams on Apple Silicon and it is still a bug-ridden mess. Crashes, rendering bugs, file attachment bugs. At least once a week, usually more. Searches fail to find results that I can manually locate by scrolling throu

I am not against types but I do find typescript’s type system to be deficient. Additionally, functional programming is not incompatible with type systems but typescript’s type system in particular makes it more difficult. Several of the ter

It’s called fluoride varnish. The ADA use to recommend it only for children but in the last decade they updated their guidelines to include all ages. My dentist applies it now but my insurance does not cover it.

I might consider paying for premium if this wasn’t Google we’re talking about, which I imagine is tracking your viewing habits in their profile of you so they can serve targeted ads on other sites that use Google Ads.

Typescript won because is doesn’t ask developers to write better code, only that they write more code. As you pointed out, its syntax is familiar enough to be non-threatening to existing devs and its type system is completely optional in so

“I was working all day.” Are you getting paid to work 16 hour days? If not then stop giving your employer free work. You’re devaluing your skill. Go for a walk outside. Say hello to a stranger. Volunteer at the library e.g. helping illitera
