Even better. We’ll get to see how a union gets to affect an industry, whether symbiotically or parasitically. Remains to be seen, but if they affect a slower industry measurably and negatively, then we can have some confidence that in even faster technology sectors the effect would be greater. If they have a positive influence, they could possibly add to a faster paced industry, perhaps.
I would love to see a unionized AWS -the whole org., from top to bottom. Then see if MS or Goog would approve,

Java wasn't a thing at all when I was in college. C++ was just a few years old at the time. Assembly language was still heavily used, with C becoming popular for game development.
Honest question: how many of them are used in game development? My limited understanding is that the majority of games still use more traditional languages like C++ and Java.
