   i wonder why ECS is only used in games :blobcatwut:
   
   does it not work well for other things?

     @lizzie ah in that case i haven't seen ECS used for gui then :comfymelt:
     
     i've used PAC (kind of) and MVVM seems kinda same thing but with some more automatic bninding. currently reading over the ecs system used in the new SS14.
     
     :blobcatdizzy2: lot of message sending

     @icedquinn i mean ecs! rust plays really well with ecs so there are a few gui libraries, most of which aren’t very good that do that

     @thendrix @lizzie yeah message passing is in defold and i think the overwatch talk as well. ss14 uses it heavily.
     
     the entity systems subscribe to events on particular components and systems can fire events off down to them. i think ss14 does the calls immediately, whereas defold puts them in mailboxes so the process order is somewhat well defined

     Messaging? That doesn’t sound like ECS at all.

     Also outside of games and embedded systems a lot of people don’t care about data orientated design and/or performance / scaling.
