Stuff I find interesting &or fascinating

this is uhh harder than I thought

Programming languages

The Rust language

This is my current go-to language if I ever want to implement something. Its compiler is very strict, but is also very verbose about the error. So when my code actually compiles, I know that it will work

Lua

A very, very lightweight interpreted language, it's designed with portability and embedability in mind. While not the best to buid something from the ground up, it's practically perfect for modding or extending something already existing!

YueScript

A transpiled language, meaning it is translated into another language. Lua, in this case. This means you can use it anywhere you can use Lua! In my opinion, YueScript's syntax is cleaner that Lua's. YueScript also offers some keywords that would be boilerplate in Lua

Game engines and frameworks

The Bevy game engine

A game engine that uses a potentially better programming paradigm for game development. It's made with and programmed in Rust

Love2D

A framework that uses Lua as its programming language. It's really, really, really simple to make something there

Network protocols

XMPP

An eXtensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, which I believe is better at handling extensibility than HTTP
