I wonder how much of the 10 years spent making "a programming language, an engine, and a game" were actually spent on each slice.

Hopefully, jai and the engine will help make the next game faster...

I think he has said this in some stream and the majority of the time was spent on the game. He also said many times that the game is way more difficult to make than the compiler.

It's hilarious he had to build a new language just so he could create a sokoban game with graphics of flash era.

I'm sure it builds fast and whatever, but you could make this in python in few weeks.
