Video games are an interesting analogy since they often trade security for performance, trusting clients about world state quite a bit.
Finance and biology do come across as two similar high level systems. But while we can employ KYC, fraud detection, and various auditing techniques to finance, I don’t know what you do for biology. You can easily run an algorithm over every transaction a person makes in their account but there’s no equivalent for every cell, every bacteria strain, every virus in the human body.
That was my gut feeling too, or at least something Tahoe related. I reckon they’re using Gemshell based on the game icon, which they’ve also been talking about on their YouTube channel.
On Gemshell’s store page (https://l0om.itch.io/gemshell) it seems they’re in turn using Neutralino JS, which should be using a Webview, like Tauri.
I’ve had similar thoughts too: the older I get, the less “extra features” translate to value if I’m expected to stretch my concentration across all of them to have fun.
I’m not as sophisticated as the average Dwarf Fortress player, but an emergent quality of that game that I’ve admired from afar has been how you can ignore various mechanics and you’re rewarded with an interesting ride.
It’s dynamic enough that by pulling various gameplay “levers” you can get wildly different outcomes (and thus value through replayability), but things will sort of run themselves (for better or worse) if you forget about them. So you’re half writing your own story, half discovering it as it writes itself.
That’s narrower than a Boeing 737’s wingspan, and when you look at planes leaving a trail behind them, you can often see the trail fan out much wider than the plane.
Not sure how wide that would be, but the length has to be factored in too, which begs the question, how wide and long is a piece of string/cloud?
On the ground looking up the sense of scale falls apart a bit.
