@kabojnk If they could just eject their tech debt and rebuilt all the (broken) basics, bottom up, and bring the same toolset to it - PERFECT

@kabojnk But when I talk to their engineers, they're proud of how they never break old code with updates / work hard to keep it running. :/2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@kabojnk I mean it's good, but it's also bad. It's precisely "that" that keeps them from making something UE4 competitive. They're UE3-era.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@glassbottommeg@kabojnk I'm biased but I disagree... It's not *that* that keeps us from "having UE4 fancies".1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@glassbottommeg@kabojnk i.e. "rewrite from scratch" would not solve problems (also, how much of code _really_ changed between UE3 & UE4?)3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

@aras_p@glassbottommeg At the same time, back compat creates a lot of tech debt… the energy upon which could be directed elsewhere.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@aras_p@kabojnk@glassbottommeg UE4 was a huge 2-year refactor, not a total rewrite. 100% new renderer, removed barriers to open source.2 replies 4 retweets 12 likes -

@TimSweeneyEpic@aras_p@glassbottommeg Like UnrealScript—I am wondering when the process to boot it started, and if tech debt was a factor1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@kabojnk @aras_p @glassbottommeg There was a 2011 proposal for "The Ultimate Next-Generation UnrealScript", and looked a lot like C++!

@kabojnk@aras_p@glassbottommeg In general, scripting languages encounter Interop Hell as they scale up in complexity in a C++ codebase.0 replies 0 retweets 1 likeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
