      What does Jon mean by notes? Comments in code?

      Notes are annotations you can put on certain code constructs. You can e.g. put a note on a struct member, and the Mega-Programm will know that this member has this note. For example, Jon uses them to assign versions to struct members so that serialization is backwards compatible.

      That sounds like Java annotations or Rust attributes. Kinda suprized there aren't in the Jai yet, they are very useful as markers for meta-programming; but I haven't followed development of it for last couple years.

      Same here. Started following Jai's development back in 2014 and some years later, but since I can't play with the real thing, I lost interest in following the streams. That does not mean I believe in Jon's ideas, which I agree mostly. I hope it releases soon to wider audience.

      I really hope to trying this thing out, the problem is such long development by a really small team doesn't help building an interlinked community. Of course you don't want to release a bad thing, but still. I feel I'll be absorbed by Rust before this thing comes out.

      If what you want is an interlinked community, JavaScript has plenty of that!

          I never said I wanted it. Also, don't take words as criticizing your approach. I guess if you target language for building full package from top to bottom then community isn't a thing you'd care, but for me it would be harder to join into and try it out without researching...

          ...every single thing to be used. I guess it works for custom game engines, though, and I really wish you luck, but right now it's a bit hard to still wait for thing to become available and hope that there would be enough interested in it to use myself

          I learn by doing, not watching streams. That is my point. Your ideas resonated to me a lot back in 2014. Don't assume I want to criticize. I have high expectations on Jai.
