Tried the @zed.dev debugger feature. Works well. Needs a few features but it's good enough to make this my editor now. Amazing work to everyone involved in this!

I've now published my blog post, "I want a good parallel computer." raphlinus.github.io/gpu/2025/03/... . Thanks much to all the feedback on the draft, I'd like to think I've clarified some things that might have been confusing.

What a hater

8 Years ago I started learning rust. 7 years ago I made my first rust PR at work I used it basically every day since, love the language. Use it at work, use it for fun to build a game. It's my default language. Number 1 pain point? The same 7 years ago and now: BUILD TIMES ARE SLOW!!!

Game update!! Moved from OpenGL to WGPU. Way better pefrormance. Fancy new renderer so I can add shadows and a bunch of goodies. Art is still 2D isometric art that I carefully project to cubes. On my TODO list: shadows, fog, a bunch of other goodies. youtu.be/yUsAJO0GG3c #gamedev #graphics #rust
