defold is really cool, the only downside is its really weird build system for native extensions

If you know rust, the Godot rust bindings for GDExtension are also really good and let you use any Rust library in Godot (including tokio and async rust if you really want) https://godot-rust.github.io/

Me and my friends used to do this in middle school/high school with Google Docs.

We would share a Google Docs link with each other and use it to communicate, and then pretend we were doing homework

wasn't Caine written in common lisp? Pretty sure they show that the debugger they used in the command line was gdb (which ... is that even actually possible?)

CRUNCH is really cool, I helped make it work better on Windows (although it requires a bit of setup)

this REALLY reads like claude responded to this comment, so I really hope that I'm just mistaken and you just naturally talk like this

dumb question: is this javascript/typescript only? can you use webassembly based languages instead?

I’ve met a decent amount of lesbian vtuber fans so I don’t think this is necessarily true.

Yeah it really hit its peak with gen 1 of Hololive English I want to say, along with the explosion of indie vtubers on twitch and stuff that followed.

A lot of female content creators I followed online became vtubers. HikaruStation used to be a singer, but now she’s a whale Vtuber by the name of Bao.

AmaLee (of LeeAndLie) also got famous through anime song covers, but she’s mostly a vtuber now.

I think the current vtuber “market” is a lot harder to break into now than it used to be though.

yeah i mean more so, is the goal for topcoat and toasty and friends to become like Spring Boot from Java but for Rust. (also it was nice meeting you at the zscaler talk you gave a couple of weeks ago)

This might sound dumb, but is Tokio slowly (if it hasn't already) become the Spring/Spring Boot for Rust?

Does the backend output c++20? If so, why? I’m curious what specific features you guys are using from c++20.

Have c++20 coroutines been useful at all?

Also, one issue I have with this repo is that, since so much of it seems to use Claude, as an actual human I struggle to read and parse any of the information.

For example, what’s the performance like?

I've seen a couple of these "distributed" postgres extensions.

My question is, has any of them been talked about being upstreamed to postgres itself? Or, adding a custom built in feature to postgres itself?

So if you are writing a WASM component model, and you were hoping to use Web Workers/SharedArrayBuffer, how would that work?

Do the virtual threads map on top of the Web Workers? Or are the Web Workers themselves green threads?

I was assuming Web Workers are OS threads

valorzard — Wed, 27 May 2026 18:19:26 +0000

Iirc the async stuff in the component model isn’t actual threads but rather green threads, but correct me if I’m wrong

I also tried doing multithreaded wasm in Rust, and I got some weiiiiird errors. Definitely not stable yet.
