Seems interesting. HN seems to be a buzzing hotbed of Kotlin stories since the Google announcement. I can't help but feel that it looks a lot like Swift on the JVM, without some of the nice data structure literals for maps, lists, etc.

Thanks for sharing! I'm just getting into games and these look really helpful.

As I said, YMMV but the biggest standout that I remember was trying to play sounds using the windows API. There weren't any packages our team could find that really did it correctly, the one that everyone pointed to leaked memory like

In my experience, Golang's Windows support is actually fairly poor. I think it is largely to do with the clunky interface that is CGo. I found Rust to be less "warty" by a large margin with good library support in a lot of ar

Not just enriching, people are blowing Apple out of the water in regards to adding new capabilities to the iPad. This app makes the swift "playgrounds" look even more laughable.

Just ran into this and was about to post it - Wow. Looks really good. It seems like he embedded an IL interpreter to get around the AppStore limitations. Amazing work.

This looks amazing and very close to a project I've been working on myself - a clojure-ish lisp-1 with Rust style memory management. Very cool work!

This is really great stuff. I've been working on a small 2d SDL project in C++ and this has given me a lot of pointers, as well as opened my eyes to the power of Nim for tasks like this. It seemed somewhere in between C and Python. Re

Sorry! I didn't know. I just saw it and thought it would be interesting to hear HN's opinion on what was happening. Won't happen again.

$120k in just salary is common for a regular developer with 3 years experience here. Not even SV

I feel this too. I find that exercise and diet help me control it the most.

Java would do fine, and much better than Node for this case. Even if it wasn't better, the best language to use on a project is the one you already know. So still Java

Go is more likely to replace Java as high throughput/low latency server technology. I've seen it in huge companies working with lots of data at high speeds. Javascript sees a lot of use in small shops where devs only want to learn

Both Angular and React are very easy to drop in and integrate with Django. Ember isn't a big stretch either, as you can use any framework with anything that serves up a restful API

Good suggestion, but I'm looking for something a little more wholesome. Like a hired hitman.

Actually the reason I'm looking to make money is to get out from under this car lease that I mistakenly took on, and have enough for first+last months rent and a security deposit at a new, more affordable place.

You're correct. I meant my response as tongue in cheek, though that didn't really translate well in text, my apologies.

Actually I'm looking for the income in addition to my regular job.

If I did, I probably wouldn't be asking how to make money quickly.

Have a job, struggle to live minimally when I have about $2k in expenses that I'm locked into.

So you're saying I should embrace C/C++/a scripting language and not try to chase something new? I think my main reason for both requirements was so that I could learn something that'd help me in my current position, and

In this case, I'm actually using game dev as the excuse or motivator to learn a new language. So the one I know best doesn't necessarily apply here. Haha

Ask HN: Best new or modern languange for game dev?
