I don't get the complaints about the horrible syntax. The syntax is fine... Which is weird cause I only get complains from c/c++ folk, and that set of languages have objectively AWFUL syntax
This comment reads so angry only because the OP doesn’t like what they read
To be fair, the legislation also kills any sort of multiplayer games, so it's in the same spirit. It just takes the idea to its logical conclusion. As a game developer, if this thing passes, I would just not build multiplayer ever anymore.
I would argue the opposite. The decision to rewrite was based on politics, and the decision to deprecate support was based on actual engineering.
Because Nolan is known for his hits and misses
This can’t be legal, can it?
Have you ever been to Europe?
This is such a sad comment. You can call people and make a plan. It's called socializing.
You think this administration is trustworthy?
140ms is still a ton of time to do a simple transaction

https://github.com/felipellrocha/bigbangrsI built a GPU “big bang” particle sim in Rust (wgpu) over a 2-day sprintI’ve spent a lot of time working on web engines, but had never really touched modern GPU compute directly, so I used this as an excuse to dive in and learn.What it does:- ~3 million particles simulated in real time
- Interactive framerates (hardware-dependent)
- Voxel-based...
If you truly believe that, why don’t you just transform code directly to assembly? Skip the middleman, and get a ton of performance!
Man, if this were true we’d see a crazy, massive explosion of quality products being written, and launched. While we see some use, i don’t perceive an acceleration. In fact, i see a lot of trivial bugs being deployed to prod.
I guess that what people debate on here is what “decent” mean. From my experience, these llms spit out dog shit code, so 20 agents equal 20x more dog shit.
We’re building Chaotic, a high-performance 3D game engine and editor written in Rust. It targets WebAssembly and WebGL2, making it possible to deliver near-native performance and console-quality visuals directly in the browser. On top of the engine, we’re currently developing a multiplayer cozy farming game inspired by Animal Crossing called Fireflies Meadow:
https://firefliesmeadow.com/?admin=SkipTheLine&skip=IKnowWha...Fireflies Meadow isn’t ready for prime time yet, but we’re proud of the progress so far and actively iterating on it.
If you’re interested in the engine, the game, or just want to follow along, feel free to reach out on our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/mHsQayQNdp
I’d be curious to hear your feedback on whether the game is working for you or not.
Money must flow from a source to potentially multiple destination. Because of that previous fact, you must have at least two postings per transaction (the double in double entry). If you manage to move money correctly without any errors, those postings in that transaction will add up to zero, making it trivial to verify you've done everything correctly without any errors.
Being fully multithreaded comes with significant overhead, while browsers essentially proved how much unreasonable performance you can get out of a single cpu using async because of javascript’s async model.
It is hard to describe just how much more can be done on a single thread with just async.
Oh god, there will be money in this for sure, but at what cost?!?
English is your favorite language to read and write? Said no one ever…
How did I know this was going to be about Mr M?
Came here to say the same. I’m brazilian and can translate every single one of those phrases without losing any meaning. What a shit set of examples.
Last week I had to download a dependency on Homebrew. It had been a while since I had downloaded anything as my personal device had been stable for a long time, so dependencies were out of date. Well, homebrew decided to upgrade EVERYTHING before it started the new download, all without my prompt. An hour later, I was met with a device that was full of issues, and it took me an entire week to fully get back to normal. Not saying I hate homebrew, but I welcome any competition in this space.
Webgl2fundamentals is pretty great :)
