No idea. I weirdly want to use the Wasm target with some JS thingy to target mobile. Sounds like fun?


Parin is a 2D game engine I've been working on for about two years.


I've never been a big fan of D, but I also haven't done much with it so it's possible I would like it more if I did.

So, simple question: why D? Keep in mind that "I think it writes pretty code" is a perfectly valid answer.


I tried D after attending this talk:

My impression was that it strives to be a better C++ by fixing many of the annoyances and providing some well thought out convenience features, and it did a pretty good job. I thought the multiple version features and being able to write unit tests inline was especially nice.

But D came about before C++11 was a thing, and C++11 was a great ergonomic improvement over C++98. Since C++ got better, I haven't been keeping up with D.


I like how easy it is to switch between low-level and high-level code, and it has some neat features for modeling data.


Your game showcase is also cool: https://kapendev.itch.io


Thanks!!


This is cool. Well done in the creation.


Very interesting post. How can I use that for web development? My senior told me to ask this question.


Good stuff. I say that as someone that is not biased.


Really? Wow, this is like Zig and I love Zig!


Flutter


That's a nice list!


People here need time to notice XD


Well, I do!?!! It's even faster than zoomer langs like Odin. You should try it.


Zoomer is a good word btw. I love zoomers.


> This whole GC vs no-GC thingy

And I am here, enjoying both. Life is good.
