I checked out crystal. It's a nice little language, but it has a very, very long way to go. IDE support is still quite shaky and the developer community is not large enough yet. There are some few good packages and frameworks that work very well though.
I think it's still not supported on Windows as of today.
I tried using aider with godot. CC would probably be better. Aider with 4o/o3-mini wasn't very good at gdscript, and it was terrible at editing tres/tscn files (which are usually modified through the editor). If you had a very code-centric game, it could turn out OK, but if you have resources/assets that you normally edit with special programs, it is going to struggle.
He has also made significant contributions to the denial of the Khmer Rouge genocide and countless other atrocities committed by communist regimes across the world. Almost everything he's written on linguistics has been peer-reviewed, while almost none of his political work has undergone the same scrutiny before publication, and it shows.
Noam Chomsky, the man who has spent years analyzing propaganda, is himself a propagandist. Whatever one thinks of Chomsky in general, whatever one thinks of his theories of media manipulation and the mechanisms of state power, Chomsky's work with regard to Cambodia has been marred by omissions, dubious statistics, and, in some cases, outright misrepresentations. On top of this, Chomsky continues to deny that he was wrong about Cambodia. He responds to criticisms by misrepresenting his own positions, misrepresenting his critics' positions, and describing his detractors as morally lower than "neo-Nazis and neo-Stalinists."(2) Consequently, his refusal to reconsider his words has led to continued misinterpretations of what really happened in Cambodia.

Chomsky often describes the Western media as propaganda. Yet Chomsky himself is no more objective than the media he criticizes; he merely gives us different propaganda. Chomsky's supporters frequently point out that he is trying to present the side of the story that is less often seen. But there is no guarantee that these "opposing" viewpoints have any factual merit; Porter and Hildebrand's book is a fine example. The value of a theory lies in how it relates to the truth, not in how it relates to other theories. By habitually parroting only the contrarian view, Chomsky creates a skewed, inaccurate version of events. This is a fundamentally flawed approach: It is an approach that is concerned with persuasiveness, and not with the truth. It's the tactic of a lawyer, not a scientist. Chomsky seems to be saying: if the media is wrong, I'll present a view which is diametrically opposed. Imagine a mathematician adopting Chomsky's method: Rather than insuring the accuracy of the calculations, problems would be "solved" by averaging different wrong answers.
In Europe he is quite a controversial figure even on the left part of political spectrum- mainly because of his takes on Srebrenica genocide (and recently on the Ukraine war).
This might be a terrible idea, and likely would never work for a multitude of reasons, but I was wondering if everyone in the future were gaming via streaming services that way players wouldn’t be running the game on their own hardware or software.
Very unlikely to happen anytime soon in competitive shooters like Valorant where gamers spend thousands of dollars just to get a few millisecond advantage from faster monitor, mouse, etc.
Adding an extra 5 or 10ms of delay would be a massive issue (especially bad if it is an inconsistent delay)
Part of what scares me about React Server Components is that it very directly matches the web down this path. Instead of APIs and data and a front end app, the web becomes a view screen for computetion running far far away.
The Flutter vision feels very similar, treating the web as a big canvas to draw pixels on.
Still the early stages and in the process of finding the best most interesting bars.
If you know any there I would love to hear from you. Feel free to submit them on the website or here!
