Daily Thought - 2025-01-09

Hey, I'm Hanno! These are my daily thoughts on Crosscut, the programming language I'm creating. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please get in touch!

So, I've started working on a new prototype. And if that goes well, I will archive the previous one. After 8 to 9 months of working on it, that previous prototype was a hot candidate for turning into the real thing eventually. So why am I working on retiring it?

The general problem is that everything's taken longer than I thought it would. And there's not really an end in sight. Part of the reason is that over the last months, I've been going down rabbit holes instead of being laser-focused on what's most important.

But that's only part of it, and I have a list of quite a few specific problems with the approach I've taken on that prototype. Even if I strengthen my focus (which I'm working), it would still take a long time before I can use that prototype to participate in game jams semi-regularly, which I hoped I'd be doing by now.
