Bootsharp now beats Rust wasm-bindgen by 10% on user-type marshalling — powered by a new binary serializer and the NativeAOT-LLVM compiler, both shipping in the new release. https://t.co/xeurwGOkQC

SpriteDicing is now available on @godotengine!

👉 https://t.co/nfYX54VQKt

Fun fact: it runs 3.7× faster on Godot vs Unity, thanks to more efficient texture read/write functions. 🤖

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

At some point, it started writing "Ok!()" instead of "Ok()" and refused to remove the bang. I guess we just discovered an AI coping mechanism :)

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

@jetbrains are you even reviewing reports on youtrack? I reported a critical regression in dotCover a week ago, and it hasn't even been triaged, no response at all: https://t.co/EaCZsU8Lve

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Same post, at the same time, on Twitter and Bluesky. Twitter account has x10 more followers.

Now I'm wondering: is the bird actually dead, or did the background cook? 🤔

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Bootsharp now supports NativeAOT-LLVM. It's fast.

The emotional rollercoaster of #rustlang:

1. Find out into_iter -> into_par_iter is the only change required to make existing code run on multiple threads

2. Attempt compile, only to realize a major refactor is required solely to keep progress callbacks functional

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

@alexanderameye @obsdmd Yeah, I though I'd miss kanban as well (tried the plugin, but it didn't really work for me); but after some fiddling I found the built-in outline view can work as a priority list: you can drag-drop headers to re-arrange the sections, so it's almost like the kanban cards.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Aaand Notion followed through. Guess I had to learn the lesson of not trusting cloud providers the hard way. 😅

@obsdmd doesn't have a kanban view, but is completely local and keeps the stuff in plain markdown, so no surprises anymore, hopefully. Also, it's super fast and lean.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Thanks to @Atlassian nuking my Trello account just because I happen to connect from a certain country, I've discovered how beautiful @NotionHQ is. More features, flexibility, better performance and overall superior UX.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

@mercury Is your support functioning? Why am I not getting any response for a week?

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Oxidized my sprite packing solution into cross-engine tool. It's no longer coupled with Unity and works 3x faster.

#rustlang #gamedev #cg

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

So, I've finally felt victim to the hype and started rewriting one of my tools to #rustlang from #csharp. Quite satisfying, though not sure if I'll ever be able to appreciate mandatory curlies. So much wasted vertical space. 😕

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Bsky finally got hashtags; guess it somewhat usable now? Created a handle just in case: https://t.co/nAqb4sWA3c

Finished upgrading my C# <-> Type Script interop solution to .NET 8. Also added instance bindings and shiny new docs: https://t.co/KrHpXBykXK.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

And final #OpenSource contribution just before the new year: migrated my C# <-> JavaScript interop lib to .NET 8. Thanks to all the WASM improvements in @dotnet runtime, it now supports AOT, multi-threading and compiles into bundler-friendly ES module. https://t.co/kbSRZ5oRCa

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Made a JS util to optimize media on web: https://t.co/htrQ2dlUps

Plugs into build pipeline to encode images and video into AV1/AVIF, generate covers and variants for high-DPI displays, etc. Makes it trivial to prevent layout shifts and content poppin on page load.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

We're finally approaching sane TS project setups. Previously, I'd have to drag hundreds of transitive deps just to test, cover and build a lib. Now it's only tsc and bun.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Reanimated some obscure artifacts of my indie gamedev youth: https://t.co/doE2CJk1cv

Porting Unity 4 builds to modern WebGL was an exquisite experience. 🤓

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

@mihal_pigichka I like the final more. Feels more expressive/impactful :)

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

@Novack_ Nah, true feelings here :) Primary constructor + implicit usings eliminated like 10% of the codebase in one of my projects.

[Artyom Sovetnikov @elringus]

Love new C#.
