Is there something that gives it that impression? Didn't look at it too hard, but the readme tells a story of focused passion for the language, and programming in general. Vibe documented?

What’s the challenge with getting it working in macOS? Vulkan?

MindSpunk•21m ago

They're not using a library like SDL for windowing and input as far as I can tell. All the MacOS interfaces are in Objective-C or Swift, which I would wager (I've never used Go fwiw) aren't as easy to bind to from Go code.

MoltenVK has some extra interfaces you need to integrate with too, it's not a completely hands off setup.

About garbage collection:

Are there a lot of Unity/Godot devs unaware that their engines are using GC? I would assume they'd have accepted the cost of GC already.

Unreal devs I can understand having an issue with it though.

GitHub is filled with these because it’s always easier to make an engine than a game. You play with the fun tech and make the graphics engine. You never make any tough tradeoffs because you don’t have a target to aim at.

When an engine becomes useful is when it has to make a game. All your abstractions tend to get rearranged and hard decisions are made.
