We need more release-quality open source games! With this project, I hope to show some real-world use cases of Godot 4 features.
I've worked hard to make the docs and code understandable and well organized.
I've been following lemmy [0] for a while, a federated reddit alternative in the same spirit as mastodon. It's still very small, but I think as monetization pressure on reddit increases, people will look for other places to post and this might be one of them :)
One of their stated goals is to show people how to write a compiler in Elm, and another is to allow programmers familiar with Elm to hack on the Elm compiler without needing to learn Haskell.
You make it sound like a big audience is the only thing that matters. The linked post talks about a personal website as a digital identity. Giving people a link so they can find you online is a good reason to have a website, even today.
Besides that, making your own website is rewarding in many other ways - Being creative, getting thoughts out of your head, pinning down certain arguments you tend to repeat, etc.
I find it interesting that this is financed by the EU.
My first reaction to this was a lot of skepticism - the article makes a lot of bold claims without backing any of them up. I was ready to write this off as another sleazy mud-throwing operation when I found the official EU site [0] describing the team and their goals - including "Effective communication and promotion of EU policies towards the Eastern Neighbourhood". The biased writing and this "promotion of policies" really make me think this is no better than the "fake news" everyone complains about.
I can't believe how rude the comments in this thread were.
I generally agree that we have too much complexity in software, but I also feel that often people take the "minimal" software notion to an extreme level of elitism, excluding and attacking people for reasons not related to the original goal to make better software.
I'm using elm so I don't have to learn any of these things. I enjoy knowing almost all parts of the language.
Also, in 95% of the cases, it provides enough flexibility to solve the task at hand.
I'm hopeful that a Patreon-like donation model will prove successful for apps/products with a passionate userbase. Ulysses, as described in the article, does seem to have a pretty active community with a lot of people willing to pay.
