ADHD people should be funded to do their silly daydreamy megaprojects

Imagine what we could build

Plans for world domination:
1. A fedi server in rust
2. Take over Minecraft and open source it to provide a stable semver API
3. Free cat ears and headpats
4. Async in traits and dependent types (sorry, I had to)

@natty There is Minetest if we could just get people to use it TwT

@alfredohno @natty Having used Java, it's a pretty decent language, as long as you're using an IDE (for example Eclipse) that allows generating and pasting the boilerplate. Or use Lombok which does generate it automatically at compile time, using annotations.

@LunaDragofelis @natty @alfredohno If you need your IDE to generate boilerplate, it means your language sucks.

That should be something you can solve with some macros.

@lispi314 @LunaDragofelis @natty @alfredohno You don't *have* to use Java for Minecraft modding.

Scala: github.com/MinecraftForge/Scor

Kotlin: github.com/FabricMC/fabric-lan

Clojure: github.com/eutro/mc-clojure-li (Note: outdated, but apparently compatible with both Forge and Fabric.)

@Parienve @LunaDragofelis @natty @alfredohno Yeah, I'm aware of the other JVM langs you can use.

ABCL, Clojure and Kawa Scheme can all mitigate the boilerplate issue.
