When people write games for ie. Steam, I assume they either use a 3D engine or something custom written in C++ for OpenGL, DirectX or Vulkan. When people write interactive 3D graphics for the web, there's ThreeJS and WebGL. Where does

No loss here. I listen to several podcast, but I usually skip the ads. If that was not possible, I would not listen to podcasts. Podcasts can be nice, but there is an abundance of people that want their voices heard.

C++ 98, 03, 11, 14, 17 or 20? They all seem to be in active use and are as different as some programming languages are from each other.

I didn't know that Elixir had such a low-threshold for one-off programs. Have you tried Crystal? Both are on my list of programming languages to look into next, together with Elm, Reason and Zig.

Julia discourages Linux distros to package it. They include modified and unmodified versions of all libraries they depend on within the Julia source repository. I am not quite sure how they are planning to grow within the ecosystem that mat
