@badnetmask Thanks, glad that the post has been helpful for you :)
@gabmus From a dev perspective I wished I wouldn’t have to support Windows as build environment at work though, it’s really mind bending how bad MSVC’s error messages can be
@gabmus I think that’s related to your dev environment though. I agree that it’s a royal pain to compile and use stuff that’s built against a GNU user land on Windows, but it’s comparatively easy to do it with MSVC or things like DotNet. Windows also offers a relatively stable API and less different flavours to target in general, so I can understand game devs not wanting to mess with Linux especially if they don’t know Linux and as such have a hard time debugging things

@brainblasted NULL is my main annoyance with most languages, I really miss Option<T> and Result<T, E> whenever I have to work with C++
@gabmus 🤯 The search providers of Shell really are neat, I should use that more often :D
@[email protected] @redhat Congrats on your new job! :)
@brainblasted Yeah, Zig does look kind of interesting, but when I tried it I really missed all the great tools Rust already has. ZLS really wasn’t all that great for me compared to rust-analyzer (and that admittedly isn’t that amazing with gtk-rs either) and IDE support was mediocre at best :/
On Flatpak disk usage and deduplication

There is a blog post doing the rounds asserting that Flatpak Is Not The Future. The post is really long, and it seems unlikely that I and the author will ever agree on this topic, so I'm only going to talk about a couple of paragraphs about disk usage and sharing of runtimes between apps...
