>gets solved in Godot with C++

if only by rewriting half of the Godot codebase. With design choices they made, Godot will never be performant enough for RTS/Crown simulation games.

>How's the whole DOTS adoption going?

I'm quite impressed to what people build on top of it: https://github.com/Dreaming381/Latios-Framework https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/mesh-a... and many more

1) Are there any benefits in replacing a personal private project git repo with jj? I usually just commit straight to master in order to just not to lose the changes and be able to roll back. 2) Are there any pros in doing so in a project with many large binary files (3d models, images)?

Godot is nowhere near to something like C# HPC, Jobs and Burst. And I’m afraid even GDExtension can’t help with that. At least not with Godot’s scene structure which prioritises simplicity over performance.

I had the same need and found Raylib_cs suit very well for that

Cool, you now can implement Elm architecture inspired GUI framework in C#.

As much as I hate Microsoft, I admit they are doing great things for C#

From https://recastnav.com :

> Industry Standard - Recast powers AI navigation features in Unity, Unreal, Godot, O3DE and countless AAA and indie games and engines

I see the industry is of full double standards :)

> So, if you want to build games using raylib, why not learn learning or use Swift for that?

Never ever worked for me. Imagine, you actually learned basic Swift and Raylib, now you want "advanced" features in your game like navigation/pathfinding, model loading, ImGui, skeletal animation (those are actually vital for gamedev). You realize that

- Navigation is only ReCast which is pure C++ library,

- ImGui has C++ API as first-class citizen,

- Decent animation with compression is only open-sourced by OzzAnimation which is pure C++ project.

For gamedev interfacing with C is never enough, half of ecosystem is built heavily on C++. Even C++ interop is not enough (see Dlang). Without all those libraries you are bound to make boring 2d platformers.

Same for Zig, Odin, C3 etc.

We live in time when instead of booking a ticket you have to create a landing page to draw developer’s attention to a quite irritating bug.

Neither was doing that with other countries they ransacked. The other was pouring enough propaganda at you so that you think it is somehow different.

enbugger — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 09:13:29 +0000

I don't want to do manual memory management and pointer handling

I don't want to have any sort of undefined behavior

I want to have quick code reload button in the editor

I want to still rely of the engine official documentation with examples like it is with GDScript and C#

Not to mention the Hot Reload which comes out of the box.

GDScript is not very maintainable as the code base grows. It lacks proper refactoring tools (e.g. the ones from Jetbrains Rider), static type checking, flexible object system and many 3rd party libraries which might be needed

The author "teaches workshops on AI development for engineering teams". This is nothing but a selling post for companies. I don't know what to discuss here honestly, this is more primitive bait than an average video preview picture on YouTube.

If only Lisp had better presense in modern code editors. Emacs is not enough, especially on Windows where it is super slow. I think this is what actually stops newcomers to start with Lisp and not Python

And then the forums and subreddits are flooded with miserable folks complaining about how destructive, inextensible and unpleasant to use those experiences are. This is not the problem of UI in engines itself, it's problem of how long it takes to bring it to acceptable state with all those moving parts. For UE, Unity and Blender it took decades.

Yet another one. Along with Stride, Godot, Unigine, O3DE, Flax and tens more. All look like they just want be clone of UE: generic dark UI with inspector, scene hierarchy, asset browser in the bottom and play button in the top. Zero creativity and innovation. Where's Emacs or Vim of game engines which brings its own unique philosophy?
