Trying to get some sprite debt done recently

Does anybody put scripting in their engines?

I was playing around with LuaJIT and LuauJIT to see how bad performance would be to have game logic be scripted. In a basic test test loop that just modified some Vector3s with no UI or rendering, I got approximately 17000 fps without Lua and 900fps with. Is it seriously that slow, or did I do something wrong? It only got worse the more stuff I tried to marshal back and forth, it doesn't seem viable to me. This was with struts as tables and the vector math implemented in Lua, UserData was way worse. 900fps is way more than I'd ever want my game to run at, but that was still an enormous drop for doing very little. If I actually had it do anything substantial I fear it would tank even lower. How the fuck do real games use Lua??
>>
>>107118057
That's normal, scripting languages are bad for things like math because everything is an object, they're relatively better for business logic where you're just calling a few functions
>>
>>107118057
I use Lua, not LuaJit. Lua is never a bottleneck for me. In general anything computationally expensive gets done in C++ and it takes no time at all. But I'm using the Lua C api directly from C++, not sol3 or anything like that. I'm willing to bet you're doing something wrong, how are you marshaling data back and forth? What is your algorithm actually doing? Also this is a nitpick but when you profile the amount of time a routine takes in microseconds is more useful than using the FPS as a performance indicator

So apparently this is more "Readable™", "Modern™" and "Elegant™" than loops.
Honest thoughts?
I'm learning and I like my old man loops (that all those methods use under the hood)
The immutable argument is invalid since you can write code that doesn't modify arrays without these methods

javascript's syntax is not very good at functional programming. i'm not sure why people push it there.
type int_or_list =

| Lst of int list

let steamrollList lst =
List.concat (List.map (function
| Int x -> [x]
| Lst xs -> xs
) lst)

Read, anon. Read.
Even then, a for loop is more readable.

I can tell that's a reusable function because of the fun keyword, but I don't understand why the list being parsed is not named.

I'm using an old laptop from like 2016 with an old spinning HDD and Mint with XFCE works way better than windows 10 did. No slowdowns whatsoever while Windows 10 took like 60 seconds to open a basic file browser window.
Everything just werked out of the box including bluetooth but speakers audio doesn't seem to work. I'm sure I could get it working by fiddling but I'm using bluetooth headphones anyways.
The only thing that required fiddling that was non-negotiable was a flux alternative and Redshift requires you to manually create a config file.
Overall I don't miss windows on this particular laptop at least, linux works way better than windows

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/dram-prices-surge-171-percent-year-over-year-ai-demand-drives-a-higher-yoy-price-increase-than-gold

DRAM contract prices surged 171.8% year-over-year as of the third quarter of 2025. The increase now exceeds the rate at which gold prices have climbed. ADATA chairman Chen Li Bai stated that the fourth quarter of 2025 will mark the beginning of a major DRAM bull market.

>He expects severe shortages to materialize in early 2026.

Memory manufacturers had earlied shifted production priorities toward datacenter-focused memory types like RDIMM and HBM. It not home PC compatible. Consumer DDR5 production has declined as a result because partially same production line is used.

>A Corsair Vengeance RGB dual-channel DDR5 kit that sold for $91 dollars in July now costs a $183 dollars on Newegg.

The pricing trend extends to NAND flash and hard drives.

(Hard drives contain 256MB DRAM for cache but such a small amount should be cheap in all circumstances)

NAND price increase is easy to explain though, its same material as DRAM.
