Oh I had that phone I recall trying very hard to browse to the Landon website while driving just to play some music heh.
I recall having to spin with my finger in a spiral to zoom in.

c++ for the win!! finally!!
But why isn't it in Rust? I thought all new code had to be written in Rust?

As a Seattle SWE, I'd say most of my coworkers do hate all the time-wasting AI stuff being shoved down our throats. There are a few evangelical AI boosters I do work with, but I keep catching mistakes in their code that they didn't used to make. Large suites of elegant looking unit tests, but the unit tests include large amounts of code duplicating functionality of the test framework for no reason, and I've even seen unit tests that mock the actual function under test. New features that actually already exist with more sane APIs. Code that is a tangled web of spaghetti. These people largely think AI is improving their speed but then their code isn't making it past code review. I worry about teams with less stringent code review cultures, modifying or improving these systems is going to be a major pain.

Yup. Ai is so fickle it’ll do anything to accomplish the task. But ai is just a tool it’s all about what you allow it to do. Can’t blame ai really.

He's worked on an impressive number of great games. Prey, SW Kotor 2, Fallout New Vegas, Neverwinter Nights 2, Icewind Dale 1+2 and Alpha Protocol (ok, arguably great) jump out at me https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Avellone#Works
Neverwinter nights 2 was awesome I recall having lan parties with that game

After learning Rust, C++ just seems unnecessarily complicated.
I'm not even going to try to understand this.
Using C++ these days feels like continuing to use the earth-centric solar system model to explain the motion of planets vs a much simple sun-centric model: Unnecessarily over-complicated.
I think Rust is unnecessarily safety focused.
Opinions are cool.
