@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place i think a big issue here is that "works" is relative
i didn't think C "works" since i was a minor. i still don't. but lots would disagree

@whitequark@social.treehouse.systems C is of interest to me because Lua is trivial to port to most things for being compatible with ancient C compilers, and everything seems to speak it. I picked the trifecta of Lua, SDL3, and C++17 as the foundation for my current projects on the theory that would strike the best balance for portability. I'm now having doubts about the C++17 side for the fact that porting a C++ compiler sounds awful.
