They do worry, they just can't do anything about it. Like the fact that error handling code takes at least three lines no matter how trivial it is. I'm sure error handling would not be critisized nearly as much if it didn't consume so much vertical space and could fit in one line, which go compiler does allow.

Raylib is a very good option for 2D games. For me it was the easiest way to translate my toy Doom renderer from javascript that used html canvas to C#.

Updated a pet project of mine and got a minor break:

  var pixels = new uint[renderers.width * renderers.height];
  var pixels2 = MemoryMarshal.Cast<uint, ulong>(pixels);
  pixels2[idx] = ...

In NET9.0 pixels2 were Span<ulong>, but in NET10.0 a different MemoryMarshal.Cast overload is used and it is ReadOnlySpan<ulong> now, so the assignment fails.

Spans is such a fundamental tool for low level programming. It is really unfortunate they were added relatively late to the language. Now every new version includes a slew of improvements related to them but they will never be as good as if they were there from the start or at least as early as generics were.

That's not just Java and there is nothing really cursed about it: throwing in a finally block is the most common example. Jump statements are no different, you can't just ignore them when they override the return or throw statements.

Node now has limited supports for Typescript and has SQLite built in, so it becomes really good for small/personal web oriented projects.
