i should write a game engine that doesn't use lua so i can have something to recommend to people that's not love2d

i should also make a million dollars spontaneously

real talk i'd love to actually do this but there is so much in the way of me ever finishing such a project, let alone it actually being used by anyone

for one thing, the set of programming languages that are easily embeddable is very small and lua has an enormous lion's share of that niche

if i were to create one myself *even fewer people* would use it

and i don't know how many people would want to do game dev in github.com/gluon-lang/gluon

i know about moonscript and urn, please stop recommending me moonscript and urn
