You seem to be really hostile for no apparent reason. There are plenty of reasons to be generational, there are lots of workloads that the current implementation might fall flat if it wasn't.

I don’t get it. Why not just use dart for the app backend? I understand not using it on the server because it’s not mature there.

Why would you think that?

Because you’re claiming to not debug, and that you’ve gone from 1 hour to 10 seconds. I can only go off of what you tell me here.

Sure, if you prefer low quality go ahead. Many people have always preferred low quality. Many people prefer to eat junk. I also genuinely believe that time tradeoff doesn’t matter.

Before a couple of years ago, it might have taken me an hour to type out and debug that code.

Are you not running and testing your code?

I still exclusively write my code. The quality is higher. I know exactly how it works. It’s more extensible. You don’t have to generate it.

Yeah man I think your logic is massively flawed. You’re making assumptions based on your own preferences. Not every gamer is going to prefer the latest gpu and yes there are plenty of gamers whose libraries are filled with games that are meant for controllers and consoles, in fact I’d argue that this is more common than your choices.

I think you’re massively under valuing people who have giant Steam libraries and want to be able to use them in a console like experience.

Lots of people don’t want to buy a ps5 and split ecosystems. Lots of people don’t want to tinker with sunshine.
