https://www.amazon.com/Platform-Scale-emerging-business-inve...

This book has various examples of the double-sided marketplace and how they solved the exact _chicken and egg problems_ you are talking about.

I wrote a game (SAT solving was the inspiration) back in 2022.

This sounds like a shortcut, unless it isn't.

I have a feeling this is going to make debugging code written just a few months ago incrementally difficult. At least the explicit if statements are easier to follow the intent from months ago.

The syntax is clean though. I'll give it that.

Cool. I used the Windows snipping tool and just screen-recorded it.

This is probably going to be even less successful than the Apple watch in terms of adoption. $3.5k for a personal device -- perhaps it will capture a niche. Genre defining like the iPod or iPhone, this isn't going to be.

Using an airconditioner and lattice structures/jaali are not mutually exclusive.

As an example, if you consider large buildings like hotels that have an open central courtyard, the open spaces could use the lattice structures for cooling/circulation while the rooms, banquet/conference halls and other closed spaces can use airconditioners.

Since the lattices offer passive cooling, they can lower the overall energy bill.
