That could be a nice win if 2D batching can be used. Separate textures prevent that, but if you are rendering multiple sprites from the same texture, 2D batching can often be used by the engine.

Even Protobuf in Go was pretty painful. It is much better in Rust.

I've not looked at the APIs for Capn' Proto and Flatbuffers in Rust, but definitely curious

Looks amazing!

I just had Claude write it's own MCP server in Python so that Claude can verify compilation in my @godotengine.org dev environment. Did all this in about 30 minutes from start to finish, having never written an MCP server before. Unreal.

Gosh - what a shit show we are about to witness 🍿

LLVM/Clang does not process visionOS (xros) availability correctly · Issue #142502 · llvm/llvm-project The following snippet of Objective-C code, which declares the typedef as available on watchOS, and unavailable on iOS, macOS and tvOS platforms: #import <Foundation/Foundation.h> API_UNAVAILABLE(vi...

Want to support official builds of visionOS for @godotengine.org, but alas clang was failing to properly recognise visionOS availability (as a derivative of iOS) (github.com/llvm/llvm-pr...). Solution, patch llvm 😎

Looks amazing

WTF - that is frightening

This is unconscionable

100% agree with this

Heh - backing scale factor and draw surface size vs window size.
