Maybe they could have included an option to switch between GC implementations, like Java had done before.

Maybe in all those years they could have thought of that.


They did think of that, and decided it's not worth the maintenance burden.

I honestly doubt this; very few companies have enough data. Maybe we could see mergers so it happens but basically it would mean everyone would need to be Google sized for it to work.


Very few people are going to play this on a CRT, tho. And even if you included a CRT shader, most people will turn it off.

It's ok to pine for the old techniques, but this is a game made for a Genesis in modern times. It has to stride both.


This is great but keep in mind that Go allows the programmer skip these invariants in various ways.

I wish Go had a serious type system. Never mind algebraic types, but one that fucking respected private values and did things like validating enum values.


Newer, more expensive console runs better than older, cheaper one.

Insane.


I will give you 4.

1, 2 and 3 happened a ton in the good old times before AI. If anything, we can make the code be more tested than before, but that requires a lot more engineering, that is made easier by LLMs.

It's just we haven't adapted to do them.


Don't say single nine, it sounds ugly and bad.

Say five eights of reliability. Maybe six.


We're talking about Claude, not GitHub...


that would be eight fives...


Worst case, meta will sue the programmer who produced infringing code.

I mean if the code is not copyrighteable that does not mean anything; it's just public domain code except that meta will just use good old security by obscurity to protect it. If somehow a meta programmer vibes code, say, VVVVVV, and Terry Cavanagh recognizes it on his facebook feed and sues meta, and wins, all that will happen is that meta will take down the copy of VVVVVV, will fire and sue the engineer that vibe coded it and call it a day.


Surely there are existing rails right now that could be transformed into a bullet train line.

Like properties and regulations are a true problem, but it's not like trains don't exist at all in America.


My understanding is that existing rail lines aren't flat/straight enough for high speed rail. There's no point to a bullet train if it has to constantly slow down for corners/hills.


Like the people who generally get rsi from playing their instrument?

If you get RSI playing the piano then you had a shit piano teacher.
