At that point there is no benefit to using animation-supporting format over any other format.

IDEs are holdover from the times where it was either that or Microsoft Notepad, or worse - Vi. Same as two-panel file managers coming from the times where it was either that or DOS command line. Modern text editors have all the features you might wish for and they don't suffer from being extremely h...

I don't believe library size has much to do with anything (see: box2d), it's the licensing and ability to statically link in general, and whether or not it's a duplicate feature.

I can't think of a way to automatically replace strings' metatable when and only when string m...
