immediate mode + egui is so much nicer. You can subdivide up space and structure your ui with nested function calls. no retained mode nonsense
Discussion
Yeah I’m a fan of immediate mode, but I really also can’t get into rust. I want to, but just not my cup of tea. Really like Odin and Jai actually.
I’ve gotta stick with what I know best though. Swift and SwiftUI 😅
is jai even released
Not publicly, still in private beta. I’ve had acces for a while. It’s really cool. Very similar to Odin. I actually started a libsecp265k1 wrapper in Jai. It integrates with C libraries well.
Jai still lacks stdlib stuff like high level networking, etc. there are curl modules, but it’s just not quite ready to build something like a nostr app.
That said after talking with you in Nashville last year about nostrdb, I started a rewrite of Seer this week overhauling my local data store implementation that was using SwiftData. Now I’m using lmdb+flatbuffers and wow. It is significantly faster. Lights out. Wish I would’ve done it sooner!
