@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... before minecraft was for purchase, there was a minecraft alpha for free. i do think you get a lot of younger players without income this way, because they hunt freebies. it spreads by word of mouth. a few years later, they do have income.

@nprofile1q... wasm: untested. and it is bad that we target llvm directly. with C, we would have more options.

lang stableness: i have presently paused feature development because i am unsure as to the value of this lispy-pythonic-rusty C++. bugs still get fixed. so ... now a conservative target.

* 'it' meaning: the fact that control flow semantics enforce implicit ordering and single-threadedness, but once you need to parallelize, the entire game changes and you're developing half of a stream processing engine just to deal with it - every time.

@nprofile1q... you can use it with pthreads or SDL threads but i have never developed a library for it.

it was one of the bits that annoyed me the most. hence the work on what is now `nudl`. which has original stream processing semantics that i can guarantee you claude can not deal with at all. (claude sucks at anything datalog related)

nudl programs are presently single-threaded, but multithreading will be made available later and is trivial to retrofit for users. it's zero to little effort.

@nprofile1q... over time we have run into the "emacs issue": startup time has grown to 1-3 seconds due to bootstrapping issues.

i tried over several years to fix the issue but ran into complications every time and had to give up.

but @nprofile1q... has been working in the past weeks to develop up an online compiler server that can fork new sessions from a live one, shortening turnaround times considerably. it's going to be released soon.
