alt Hacker NewsI go after Jai because I think the problems it is purported to solve are better and more readily solved with existing frameworks, libraries and engines, and I think the programming language itself is entirely too low a level for these things.
You don't need to design a specific language to implement structs of arrays, you can just... do that.
Jai hasn’t even had the whole array of structs to struct of arrays thing in years.
Also speeding up compilation time really does require a new language or at least a new compiler.
And why would you “go after” any language. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. The only thing going after it is going to do is to drive up the engagement metrics and make it more popular.
