  • It’s really interesting that Proton feels like a step forward in cross-platform gaming, but it also made it more economical to focus on Windows builds and dependencies.

    Steam has a lot of power in the market and a vested interest in making things easier for developers and publishers. I wouldn’t be surprised if they picked up (more of) the slack in keeping systems backwards compatible.

    Same as Microsoft, sort of. They can’t afford to have Apple’s “courage” in dropping x86 and then amd64.

  • Good article, thanks for the link! In the context of this conversation, I can agree that being exposed to different ways of solving problems will make you better and faster at doing just that.

  • Common criticisms here would be that these endeavors stifle creativity and show the adoption of modern solutions. That said, I find conducting “code archeology” to figure out the idiomatic way of doing something in an old project very rewarding. Because computer programs exist in people’s mind’s, doing that with the support of original developers or subject matter experts is some of the most effective knowledge transfer I’ve ever witnessed.

  • My take on a summary: like C/C++, Rust can be relevant in a variety of use-cases and one could conceivably build a long-term career on it, while adjusting to market/technology interests.

    Seems like a reasonable prediction?

  • Since ladder is mostly diagram-based it almost doesn’t need to be localized and isn’t jarring when you use non-English variable and function names with English keywords.

    Apart from being strictly left-to-right.
