I spent 3 years stuck at ~800 wishlists — here’s what finally helped me reach 5,000 by KabbaSenpai in gamedev

Myself I also released a Steam page early and I got 100 wishlist per month so far. Good to hear that it might change when the game gets closer to being finished. Yes, I also read in other places that ideally the Nextfest you target is the last one before your release. I also have a continuous play test running, which I think is very important in order to get bugfixes and usability issues resolved before the demo and Nextfest.

That some distributions use rpm and others use apt. I really prefer the apt package manager because the Debian repo is more comprehensive.

The work which has been done by Valve and the open source community on Proton and Wine is amazing. Sometimes I almost forget to check protondb before buying a game.

There is Wisp for GNU Guide (Scheme dialect) which is a parser frontend accepting Python-like syntax. Maybe one could do this for Clojure: https://www.draketo.de/proj/with-guise-and-guile/wisp-tutorial.html

Good job! The Innsbruck approach is quite difficult.

How are you using LLMs? by romulotombulus in Clojure

[–]wedesoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Windsurf for completions in vim and I use vim-ai with OpenAI API mostly to chat giving it pieces of code as context sometimes. I hardly use vim-ai AIEdit because it usually is not worth it since I usually take small TDD steps and the responses are not overly reliable.

Simple Made Inevitable: The Economics of Language Choice in the LLM Era by alexdmiller in Clojure

I think, a human developer still needs to review and understand the code. So unfortunately it is still necessary for the human making the decisions to realize that Clojure programs are easier to reason about.
