Lead developer of Stride, an opensource game engine

@xoofx True, generic should be fine.
I remember my blocker with .NET was not pure covariance/contravariance in methods (always possible to generate a thunk/trampoline method to transform ptr) but array/data covariance (i.e. ITest[] to object[]).
I wish they didn't copy Java for that ;)

[xen2 @xen2]

@xoofx Tried fat pointers in another project but hit 2 potential issues:
1. cast & co/contravariance (unless all pointers are fat)
2. if half-copied with non-cooperative GC it could cause issues (some CPU have atomic instr)
Probably OK in #starklang though since you have full control!

@xoofx Boulder dash! :)

[xen2 @xen2]

@xoofx Good luck!
This part of the engine is definitely worthy of a story/article, it was really interesting experimentation and research.
Let me know if you need any help/review!

@hypeartistmusic @xoofx @ben_a_adams @tannergooding @EgorBo What tool do you use to see the assembly code that way?

[xen2 @xen2]

I will be at the GDC from Tuesday to Thursday.

No booth, but I will be strolling the exhibition floor with my #Xenko t-shirt!

Thanks @TRBPlay for graciously sponsoring flight tickets, GDC pass and t-shirts!
