WhereIsTheTruthon Nvidia won, we all lost

Call it delusions or conspiracy theories, what ever, I don't care, but it seems to me that NVIDIA wants to vendor lock the whole industry

If all game developers begin to rely on NVIDIA technology, the industry as a whole puts customers in a position where they are forced to give in

The public's perception of RTX's softwarization (DLSS) and them coining the technical terms says it all

They have a long term plan, and that plan is:

- make all the money possible

- destroy all competition

- vendor lock the whole world

When I see that, I can't help myself but to think something is fishy:

WhereIsTheTruthon Features of D That I Love

Odin have a great LSP, it supports everything the language offers, generics, unions, bitsets, using, same with Zig, their LSP supports most of the notable features even comptime..Both language are quite new, relatively to D

There is no excuse for D, if they can make a great compiler, they surely can make great tooling too

I suggest you give the D LSP a try, I have mentioned templates, but it's very frail for everything else, using `auto`, having a chain of identifiers or even using reference/pointers is enough to confuse it, most of the time

I think it stems from the fact that both Zig/Odin provide a parser/lexer as part of their std, making it easier to just focus on building the tools, the community built parser is not good and lags behind

WhereIsTheTruthon Features of D That I Love

I'll take this:

    Vec2 result = translation + (rotationMatrix * (scalingMatrix * point));

Over this:

    const result = vec2Add(translation, mat2MulVec2(rotationMatrix, mat2MulVec2(scalingMatrix, point)));

Anytime

And that's a very simple example, in Zig, that kind of equations doesn't scale well, when it comes to readability

WhereIsTheTruthon Features of D That I Love

I am an avid fan of D, but they seriously need to massively invest into tooling

The current LSP is _that_ bad, it doesn't even recognize most notable D features such as templates and named arguments..

This should be their #1 priority, as the language is starting to get steam again, they should not miss tat opportunity

I know Walter does not use that kind of tools, but that's becoming a requirement nowadays for young developers

Please, invest into tooling!

WhereIsTheTruthon From SDR to 'Fake HDR': Mario Kart World on Switch 2

it perhaps was less expensive to produce on a mass scale

the game perhaps started development when they had a different screen planned for the console?

according to rumors, the console is at least 1year late

i'm just pointing out a fact, i'm not saying that everything they do make sense

WhereIsTheTruthon From SDR to 'Fake HDR': Mario Kart World on Switch 2

You want low latency and long battery life, HDR has an impact on the two

WhereIsTheTruthon Self-hosted x86 back end is now default in debug mode

I said it for D and Nature, and every other languages that comes with its own backend, we all have a duty to support projects that tries to not depend on LLVM, compiler R&D has stagnated because of LLVM, far too many languages chose to depend on it, far too many people don't value fast iteration time, or perhaps they grew to not expect any better?

Fast iteration time with incremental compilation and binary patching, good debugging should be the expectation for new languages, not something niche or "too hard to do"
