    Right off the bat no Godot 4 bindings at least that I’m seeing in search, so that problem persists.

    I’m not quite sure on style but I want a jack-of-all-trades language (speed, ease, capability, options, platform options etc) and that’s a high bar. Nim seems like an outlier from everything I can see.

    Actually no, some of the Haskell syntax stuff I’m seeing it making me mad.

      Alternatively, it’s a dirty language, but PHP is supremely usable.

      The truth about programming is that the language isn’t really that important, they can all be translated back and forth and the choice of what to use is usually made for you.

        I have had the thought that many languages have bindings for Raylib, so that lowers the bar a lot.

        Beyond that, I can see a lot of problems. I already could use Raylib and a few other types of frameworks/libraries (UI, webui, TUI, fantasy console, scripting, microcontroller stuff) potentially, so any other language has to allow more/better options than that. Particularly as I don’t really have ideas for those (with few-or-no tools) right now to start there.

        For your consideration, a moment of Master Shake to represent me (alternate 1, alternate 2)
