I’m not disagreeing that it’s different. It’s a more fair comparison to compare it to embedded software development, where you are writing low level code for a specific piece of hardware.

I’m just saying that abstraction in general is not an excuse for the current state of computer software. Computers are so insanely fast nowadays it makes no sense that Windows file Explorer and other such software can be so sluggish still.

Abstraction does not have to imply significant performance loss.

And also maya sucks.

I love vs code but that does not mean electron doesn’t suck

The main advantage of typing for me is static linting.

That sounds pretty neat thank you. At some point lua had an official typed extension that is no longer maintained unfortunately. Hopefully there’s a stable fork one day.

I think python is good as it is for what it can do, mostly because I have no reason to use it.

What we need is lua with types!

Python is fine as a language I guess

But python programmers give it a bad name. I’ve never seen “well written” python code, it’s always shit that’s been thrown together cos it works.

Brought in a feature from a fork of our engine at work the other day. 8000 additions and a bunch of deletions and fix commits.

And apparently that’s a pretty small merge…

Took me days just to review it.

Just check the damn log man
