Daily Thought - 2024-11-01
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!
This thought was published before Crosscut was called Crosscut! If it refers to "Caterpillar", that is the old name, just so you know.
Over the last 1.5 weeks or so, I've been looking at Caterpillar from a business perspective. And from that angle, it seems like game development is a difficult market, while firmware development might make a lot more sense.
And I haven't even been covering all that's relevant. For example, firmware development as a use case for Caterpillar could tie very well into a service offering that shares the same audience (small businesses developing hardware products) and technical underpinning (Embedded Rust).
And yet, I think I've convinced myself to stay focused on game development, for the time being. Because, while a switch to firmware development seems like a very good idea, I can't think of a compelling reason for why that switch needs to happen right now. There's a cost to switching, as well as benefits to staying the course.
