Life is way more complex than an isolated study might lead you to believe. Read research, but be aware of its limitations.

Oh yeah, no chance. The best outcome for me is to earn enough to keep making games.

I'm excited by this feature, along with all the other compile-time programming stuff (reflection, concepts). The downside I see is having to remember how a metatype works.. e.g., the default access type for member variables of struct,
