    I mean I get this in theory. But the lineup of high-quality games in production with Bevy just never stops to impress me. I'm always surprised by the new cool stuff they're making …

    It already exists actually: https://github.com/TypeScriptToLua/TypeScriptToLua . I had a pretty good experience with it while trying out Love2D.

    I really never understood the threat model behind this often repeated argument. Most of these installation scripts are just simple bootstappers that will eventually download and ex…

    bootc would be more attractive for this theming use-case, if there's a 1-line method to spin up a graphical VM straight from the docker file. I looked into it, but it looks like th…

    I've checked out the Japanese one, but I'd say that it's definitely no where near "real-world content" IMO. Just the usual tortuously slow-paced, artificially dumbed-down dialogue …

    I don't understand, you're replying in a thread where that very - super-experienced and productive low-level programmer - is talking about how he finds LLMs useful.
