I don't know, but Chris L was always a C++ guy, he never really understood Objective-C in my opinion, which is why Swift ended up the way it did. I doubt he ever used it very much, or had a deep understanding of it.

You have an optimistic view of ChatGPT. What I see happening is the movie 'Idiocracy' becoming a reality. Who am I kidding, Idiocracy is already a reality. Just look at the comments here on HN.

I'd rather have lots of hardware sprites like the Genesis, in addition to the blitter. I think a lot of Amiga games felt like they ran slow, because it's a lot easier to move a sprite, than to move a blitter object.
> Amiga/Commodore had the best engineers Atari had the best business folks While I had an Amiga and thought it was ahead of its time, I think both the Commodore 64 and Atari ST have aged better than the Amiga. The…
The Commodore 64 also had better sprites than the Amiga. Jay Miner didn't really like hardware sprites. I think he was wrong about this.

I think paper straws are a more effective way to save the planet.

I'd rather be a cannibal than eat lab grown meat.

I no longer use paper straws. Instead, I carry around a reusable metal straw that I wash after every use with copious amounts of water.
I did the same thing, but not for myself, it was to send other people away that I didn't like
