  • Something people may not realize is that the deck serves as a target system for developers of pc games. Obviously at some point a new target makes sense, but there is a careful balance in release frequency if that target status is to be maintained.

    For instance you mention steam deck verified - when steam deck 2 comes out, does steam deck verified get bifurcated where a game can get certified for either system separately? Does it just reference steam deck 2 at that point? Not easy questions






  • Moreover, codebase in pure funcional languages is hard to understand and maintain, that’s why they are rarely used in production.

    This is incorrect. They are rarely used because procedural languages have momentum. It’s way more likely you’ll get Joe Codemonkey to learn and be productive quickly with functional features added to a procedural language than to learn and be productive quickly with an entirely different paradigm. So that’s what happens.
