While you are right about it being an issue, it is very different to rent a Vroot server and having to move the server and moving your game from engine to engine.
And I wouldn’t give shit to unity devs for choosing unity. I just don’t think hosts and engines are equal.
I disagree with the meme but mostly because I think all programming language are fucking clowns at times. I Don’t think that you should use typeless languages for huge projects but I also think that for a little Js library, Js is fine.
You seem to misunderstand my points.
And I don’t think you want to.
And what is the alternative? How do you handle any non trivial load in any other language? Without a second thread or while loop. Because apparently you dislike both. You like it sync for your database -> while loop somewhere, but while loops are bad. But asynchronous is bad because it adds complexity to your code when you use functions to reduce the nesting.
On nodejs, the platform that you talked about earlier, they are literally called worker_threads". So they are different? How? Why can’t you use them?
It is not really tangential to the discussion. You claimed it is because Js single threaded. Also it is not single threaded from the “users” perspective if you mean the developer. There are workers.
If your issue is asynchronous function calls, just call synchronous functions. You might be stuck in a while loop somewhere but if you prefer that, use it. There are sync functions for everything in Js and/or you can easily create them yourself.
Yeah and you can void nesting there just as easily and you have the same issues in any other programming language. You just need to create functions. Also JavaScript is not single threaded… you only have access to the dom on one thread, for obvious reasons.
Please explain to me how you do e.g. file downloads without a callback in your favorite language. If you solution involves having the main thread being stuck in a while loop, I am not sure if your complain about nested code can be taken seriously.
Well my Js isn’t looking like that and it is really easy not too. But bad people write bad code.
Yes and no. Any programming language encourages nesting as in the end the computer does nest your code. So it is only normal and predictable that languages would reflect that. BUT! Nest logic can often be inverted and by doing so, reduce how much nesting you need to do.
If (data is not null) {
If (data has field x) {
Return data x
} else return null
} else return null
Can be
If (data is null) return null
If (data hasn't field x) return null
Return data x
With things like cloudflare cache leak, it might become a real way to hack stuff.
