@wolfi@icedquinn@xianc78 Professional games with very active graphics, physics, animations, and particles have dirt requirements. Chances are you were doing something wrong
@wolfi@icedquinn@xianc78 LuaJIT is the gold standard for JIT compilers, written in assembly and optimised relentlessly
It's used in high performence application for game logic with C side rendering (like Lรถve) in games/engines like the CryEngine, Factorio, Minetest, Fable, or WOW
Even plain POC Lua makes up "substantial amounts" (according to the email POC got) of games like Grim Fandango. Basically all of Tim Schafer's games use Lua and were one of the first adopters of it https://www.lua.org/history.html (ctrl-f Grim Fandango)
It 100% meets the performance requirements of games. Especially games that are the scale you'd make it with something like RayLib
You did something wrong like loading an image inside a fast loop. My games, even the particles, works on my 4gb ARM Pinebook pro without any slight hint of slowdown
People will notice that hosting their own instance will make nobody talk to them, so they join a big one instead, and then that makes the problem worse
@xianc78@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee Not really. The syntax is C-like, has garbage collection and mechanics for memory-safety, which can be disabled or forced per-block or for the while program, and has meta-programming mechanisms that replace macros that let it use compile-time function execution to generate code, even make utility languages like vibe-d uses for HTML templates, it reads templates from a folder and generates them into code https://vibed.org/docs
@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee@xianc78 Whenever I try it it just looks and feels like D to me but with a slightly less C like syntax (a bad thing) and annoyances like the unused variable thing that they still wont change or add an option for because they think they know better than you
@xianc78@ryo@ArdainianRight@cee Sailor Moon thing is just yuri, people like yuri because it's attractive, not for the sake of pushing shit, Dragon Warrior thing is I think a rumour. You could mention Birdo instead, though making these wierd monsters into trannies feels like they're kinda making fun of them
