Also do not forget the VR/3D version, LÖVR: https://lovr.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both. But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine. --- [0]: https://love2d.org [1]: https://lovr.org. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D. Source: about 1 year ago
As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that. Source: about 1 year ago
I'll add LOVR (https://lovr.org/), the 3D analog to LOVE. Haven't used it personally so ymmv. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
I think lobster does this. "Compile time reference counting / lifetime analysis / borrow checker."[1] "Reference Counting with cycle detection at exit, 95% of reference count ops removed at compile time thanks to lifetime analysis."[1] [1] https://strlen.com/lobster/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
I think the ability to open a window and do graphical stuff is actually pretty underrated in core language functionality. There's a few game-oriented programming languages like Lobster that put windowing and graphics in the core language functionality, and I think it's pretty neat. The biggest downside is that it's a lot to bite off, because you'll probably want to have standardized API functionality for a whole... Source: about 1 year ago
There is another language, Lobster, that uses lifetime analysis like Rust, but IIUC infers lifetimes completely automatically. It looks like the idea is still experimental - I'm interested to see how it goes. Source: about 1 year ago
I'm keeping an eye on Lobster though. It fixes most of Python's problems. It's way faster, has proper static typing, the import system is sane, etc. Source: about 1 year ago
Lobster (https://strlen.com/lobster/) appears to at least do lifetime analysis to reduce refcounting. I'm not sure about automatic interior mutability. I feel like there's a keyword here that can help find other compilers with similar features. Source: about 1 year ago
