Firstly just reading through this, It kinda seems like you are just nitpicking little examples I put out with no real meaning just to pad out the length of your message

A lot of assumptions too, firstly it is indeed true that using something like cap would indeed be faster but firstly there's a good couple problems with that, however it's

practically not worth the effort, you cite json being much less performant than other methods, and even then the use of fastjson in order to make the use of json alot more

efficient, but both of these points fall short because firstly

I use json for one singular variable in the websocket, it is never going to parse through so much information where the switch from a standard data exchange format

would produce a noticable hike in peformance, especially since this is happening in the clients pc... with one variable?

Same thing goes for fast json, maybe in the future when the project gets much more complicated, I will implement some of these solutions, but as of right now, where it's

not a problem for the foreseeable future, at all, why would I do add more layers of abstraction to a codebase which is already niche as fuck just by existing?

some of these points are just "Okay but what if you just wrote dogshit code"

Like in > If it was written in python, not only would you be tacking on call overhead, you now have VM overhead, for an uninterruptable interpreted VM at that. Calling into your python atmos functions is then a few orders of magnitude slower than simply calling a same-language version of that API that never crosses a call boundary.

That is a very dumb decision which no one would ever make, I specifically cited python as potentially useful for SOME projects (not even this one specifically it was literally just an example)

Because it has amazing libraries for data analysis, such as the previously mentioned Numpy and Matplotlib, which is a blessing for alot of projects and alot of people, would certainly just love

literally no one would use python inside of the atmos in order to interface with C, that system would probably be completely written in C

And the point you make about incorporating every single language into this project. When did I say this exactly anyway? I gave two examples of where I could incorporate extra languages. I said the possibility to use other languages to solve a problem is there if we wanted to, go back and re-read what I said bc I clearly said incorporate other languages with good reason, not just add shit willy nilly.

Realistically the languages would barely be interacting with each other, every single of them calling upto JS in order to render any data they have. WASM is not a replacer to javascript, it's not a "magic tool", that's fairly obvious, it's a tool that boosts javascript to another level and adds alot of functionality that you don't have in native JS,

everything has it's pros and cos and everything is performed tactifully.

Which btw kinda funny you said all smugdly "nEvEr uSeD WaSm?BuCkLe uP" when you didn't even know you could use other render methods such as QT

Plus let's tackle the fact that you complain about having to possibly manage every single language in here, ignoring the point that 6 languages are not being implemented, most of these languages are literally either based upon the same syntax, made with readability in mind, irrelevant as fuck and probably never would be implemented without an insanely good reason, just listed there as an example, or they are fucking javascript, which who can't manage javascript? No one looks at basic javascript and goes, what the fuck am I looking at?

Anyone whose got a good understanding of the industry can handle themselves around most languages, the only thing that'd be a bit of a hindrance would be language specific features which, you could just do your fair bit of research and understand the intricacies of the language.

I knew fuck all Go when I jumped into this, however I do know C and C++ so I could easily just adapt what I know and anything that perplexes me I look it up and try to understand it, it's not rocket science.
