With all the game engine discourse that is going around due to the Unity announcement, reminder that Love2D exists and you can make almost everything actually worth making with it.
@allison The only reason which I'm using MonoGame (which is FOSS btw) instead of Love2D is because my dream game would require a custom scripting language for events, and with Love2D being based on Lua, I would have a scripting language running on top of another scripting language.
@xianc78 MonoGame and FNA are cool, but I'm quite distrustful of the .NET ecosystem for... obvious enough reasons.
@allison I would use SDL or SFML with C/C++ but I don't like manual memory management (I always think of that game-breaking bug in DK64 that required the N64 Expansion Pak in order to mitigate).
@allison I would really love it if Golang was more gamedev friendly. It's exactly the kind of language I would use.
@xianc78 Yeah... only effort I'm really aware of in the Golang space is Ebitengine and that can only get you so far

@icedquinn @allison I've briefly tried Nim before. I really like the Python-like syntax. I tried to get their SDL2 wrapper to install once but failed.
@xianc78 @allison hm. havent replicated. but havent built on windows in a while either.
