It would be nice if the examples included an integration with an existing game engine. Game scripting is a very common use case for those languages.

>func (b Box[T]) Map[U any](f func(T) U) Box[U] {} That's completely unreadable.

The withdrawn of that proposal made me so sad. It would be amazing for JS as language, specially with certain use cases.

Thank you so much. I was about to ask you for links, since they have multiple domains that look similar (kimi.ai, kimi.com, moonshot.ai, etc.). I wasn't sure which one was the legi…

I had the _exact_ same problem. Got the 20 USD/month subscription from Kimi.com (paid annually), exhausted my 5-hour quota with a simple prompt on OpenCode + Kimi K2.7 through thei…

I have the same impression. Services from MS have been specially buggy. Games also feel buggier in the last 10 years or so, and it somehow seems worse the bigger the studio is.

I stopped engaging in arguments once I realized there's very little to gain by trying to convince someone you're right (regardless of who's actually right). If there's nothing majo…

> I assume most languages have a thing like that. You're not wrong, I assume. My problem is specifically with the remaining languages without anything like that. :')

Zod is by far the most ergonomic way to express those ideas in TypeScript these days. I miss it when writing code in other languages. The friction with the rest of the ecosystem is…

Surveillance is worse than slop. Also seems like an disproportional use of resources compared to free formats and editors we already have today. This product is in bad taste, and I…
