Thread 105705949

Will it ever be released?

>>105705949 (OP)
just two more weeks anon

>>105705949 (OP)
>no tagged unions because john has a hate boner for anything FP related
the compile time shenanigans are cool, i will say

>>105705949 (OP)
Didn't Odin steal all his best ideas, added in the useful shit he refuses to and ship to release years ahead of Jai which caused Jblow to have a melty?

What are features Jai has that other memelangs don't?

>>105706952
Hare won.
>>105688172
>The flagship feature of Hare is the "Tagged Unions". C users who have used OCaml in the past will feel right at home!

can't wait for jblow suicide stream when jai will be released and nobody is interested.

>>105706952
its supposed to have metaprogramming and macros right? you should be able to implement it yourself in any way you like

>>105707064
it's made by jon blow

>>105705949 (OP)
>the language logo is the egomaniacal designer's initials
grim

>>105707602
That's an anti-feature

>>105706952
>>no tagged unions
so how am i supposed to do generics without virtualization?

It doesn't matter if it releases anymore or even if it's actually good. he waited too long and the name is now poisoned because modern programmers will read it as "J AI" and think it's some AI infused memelang and be opposed to it on that basis alone

>>105711374
Pretty sure there's nothing stopping him from changing the name

>>105711374
It will be trending on Hackernews for a day followed by disappointment as it is not AI related.

>>105705949 (OP)
Jai?
More like GAY

XXDD LMAO

>>105707210
I hope his game flops like Braid Anniversary Edition so he can get his needed reality check. Nevermind, he will probably blame gamers again for not having taste.

>>105705949 (OP)
The fuck is that?

>>105707665
That's just a tsoding (some eceleb) thumbnail I think. Don't remember the language having a logo.

>>105705949 (OP)
>>105707064
it will be stable before rust and have jobs

>>105711795
Most AAA and indie gamedevs absolutely hate Jon, a white conservative man with strong opinions. C++ is still used everywhere in gaming (engines) and isn't going anywhere. Jai is dead on arrival and will never be adopted outside of a niche group of blowfans that are too perfectionist to finish anything of note.

>>105711917
inb4 bjarne is also white. He is from a better time before all the DEI crap.

>>105711725
Worried this will happen. I love his extremely opinionated programming and industry takes, but his game just doesn't look very interesting, lol. Even if his superfans buy he ain't breaking even unless it's great.

>>105711725
>he will probably blame gamers again for not having taste
And he would be correct.
Majority of games in the past ~15 years have been for dirt-munching retards.

>>105711971
Yeah, but I don't think the guy who made an extremely pretentious Mario game is in a position yo criticize them.

>>105711942
>industry takes
Yet does the same practices the industry does like delisting the original Braid so you'll have to buy the more expensive remaster.
>>105711971
I've heard him say this on stream and it sounded more like him coping than anything else. He honestly expected people to still be interested in a mario clone with time travel. I would have been more interested if he just made The Witness DLC with extra puzzles or something.

>>105707054
Odin is just jai lite. I do like odin though. It's kind of a better C. It doesn't have any metaprogramming support though.

>>105712006
The original Braid is still on Steam. Here's a review from 5 hours ago

>>105711999
>>105712006
I agree that the anniversary edition was cringe, but the original game was good.
Majority of shit nowdays can't compete with his little platformer released ~17 years ago.

I still don't know what he did that causes faggots to piss themselves every time he is mentioned.
He's obviously competent, so is it just that his opinions aren't kosher?

>>105712044
lmao he actually caved and put it back. There are still reviews mentioning it, I am sure.
>>105712050
His development times are hilariously long and yet he constantly blames programmers for not being productive. At least be a good example. His relevancy is wearing off and people are getting tired of him repeating the same shit.

>>105711725
dude's burned every bridge he had in the industry since the witness came out and sokoban isn't exactly streamerbait
genuinely no idea if his new one will sell at all

>>105705949 (OP)
When will he release it?

>>105712030
Good. Meta-programming is almost always snake oil.

>>105705949 (OP)
Jai sri ram saaaaaaaaaaaaar

>>105707602
>literally named blowjob

>>105711917
Bjarne is a faggot nigger intentionally keeping his language from improving

it's not out yet? anon dropped mega with compiler a few months ago

>>105711917
>Most AAA and indie gamedevs absolutely hate Jon, a white conservative man with strong opinions.
wrong m,ost of them are hard r right wing

>>105713605
Which version was dropped?

>>105705949 (OP)
What is even the point of Jai? Why is it different? What would ever be the benefit of it over anything else that already exist? Why should we care?

This logo alone has made sure that I won't use it. Egotistical cumstain put his initials as the fucking logo. Nothing about that screams "Jai".

>>105716239
Apparently no other language can have terrible syntax AND ctfe, so jai NEEDED to be made...
(Oh and AST macros, even though jon self-admitted to barely using them but they're somehow an "important" feature)

Don't die on me, Jon.

There is no chance a puzzle game that looks like a mobile game succeeds in 2025, puzzle games have basically been dead for a decade (outside of that blue prince game but even blue prince did not gross enough to make up for his losses lol)
He couldve made a game that looks and functions *exactly* the same in unity and shipped in 10th the time, avoiding not burning through all his capital
But ofc the almighty Jon Blow never stoop to that low
The point is hes legitimately retarded when it comes to business sense
He reminds me of how lolberts uncompromisingly "stick to their principles" and then are shocked that they lose elections and get cut out of republican party decisions
"If the rule brought you here of what use was the rule?"

C++ needs to break backwards compatibility in order to survive. Too much cruft from C and old revisions keeps it down.

>>105705949 (OP)
Incredible that this immediately devolved into yet another thread setting about Blow's existence LOL

>>105720537
Trying to be an eceleb while simultaneously releasing a project is almost always a mistake. Just like the Hare language, people instantly associate it with its creator.

Why does he cause the jeets the seethe so?
Does Blow rank on the shill for shekels boards?

>>105720839
Because Jon obviously lives in imaginary land where complexity doesn't exist. Meanwhile webshitters build startups and become millionaires in their sleep. If you suddenly got VC funded for millions of dollars, you wouldn't care less about what the computer ""thinks"" of the code you write (imagine being this cucked). The software industry has moved on beyond being autistic about managing registers and caches. Performance does not automatically make your game or software good.
