Mesh topologies: done!

Followers may recall that on Thursday I implemented wireframes and Phong shading in my open-source Vulkan project. Both these features make sense only for 3-D meshes composed of polygons (triangles in my case).

The next big milestone was to support meshes composed of lines. Because of how Vulkan handles line meshes, the additional effort to support other "topologies" (point meshes, triangle-fan meshes, line-strip meshes, and so on) is slight, so I decided to support those as well.

I had a false start where I was using integer codes to represent different topologies. Eventually I realized that defining an "enum" would be a better design, so I did some rework to make it so.

I achieved the line-mesh milestone earlier today (Monday) at commit ce7a409. No screenshots yet, but I'll post one soon.

In parallel with this effort, I've been doing what I call "reconciliation" between my Vulkan graphics engine and the OpenGL engine that Yanis and I wrote last April. Reconciliation occurs when I have 2 classes that do very similar things, but the code can't be reused in the form of a library. The idea is to make the source code of the 2 versions as similar as possible, so I can easily see the differences. This facilitates porting features and fixes back and forth between the 2 versions.

I'm highly motivated to make my 2 engine repos as similar as possible: not just similar APIs, but also the same class/method/variable names, the same coding style, similar directory structures, and so on. Once I can easily port code back and forth, my progress on the Vulkan engine should accelerate considerably. (That's how the Vulkan project got user-input handling so quickly, for instance.)

The OpenGL engine will also benefit from reconciliation. Already it's gained a model-import package. That's something we never bothered to implement last year. Last month I wrote one for the Vulkan engine (as part of the tutorial) and already the projects are similar enough that I was able to port it over without much difficulty.

If you don't know the answer that's fine but I wanted to ask about Minecraft coding. I heard the reason Bedrock exists was to rebuild Minecraft from the ground up without Java code because Java as a language just fucking sucks, but whenever I hear anything about Bedrock, it has like 500x more game breaking bugs a week than what Java usually deals with, which seems counterintuitive, any idea why that's the case or is it just something I am misunderstanding

See, there's a thing in programming I like to call "Everyone is stupid except me"

Everyone thinks some language is the final solution to something, when in reality it has just as many problems as the language that was previously used for the problem, which was supposed to be the solution to the problem, and then the same for the one before it, and so on

This is the same issue at play here

While yes, it's true, Java code sucks major ass because of how verbose it is, and how it forces everything into an object oriented programming paradigm, and how Java actually runs in a virtual machine

Java files aren't actually compiled to machine code, but instead .class files, which is Java bytecode (which is essentially an intermediate step between the language and machine code), which are then interpreted by the JVM (Java Virtual Machine)

To my knowledge, Bedrock Edition has a C++ codebase, which directly compiles to machine code, meaning (in theory) better performance, as there's no stupid overhead from having a language virtual machine

However, because of differences in how Java and C++ work, you get slightly differences between the games, especially in the physics engines and how math is done between the two

This creates the problem I described earlier "Everyone is stupid except me"

It can't be denied that Java Edition has a more mature codebase, as it's literally existed longer than Bedrock Edition, and so it's likely to be more stable in a sense

However, Java as a language still sucks balls, no matter how old the code is

A C++ rewrite is supposed to fix the issues with Java being an absolute kick in the balls to work with, but C++ itself has its own issues, and due to differences in the language and the younger, less mature codebase, there are more game-breaking bugs that have yet to be ironed out

In short, XKCD 927

More (Common) Lisp complaints

Because they are like those people selling financial freedom.

Lisp feels so irrelevant in game dev (desktop, non-mobile). C++ dominates this field. Flash successors plenty abound. XNA alternatives all around. Even Java is there. But where is Lisp?

Naughty Dogs

FF7

Kandria

...?

Let's be honest. These are not success stories. These list feels more like they use Lisp because they are extremely familiar with it. The fact that Naughty Dogs used Lisp doesn't mean Lisp is viable - it just means they have built extensive tooling around it; it is their secret sauce, and they will not share it (it is their rice bowl after all). No games or companies (on the Sony platform) before or after them used Lisp in a major way. It is probably not practical.

And furthermore, with the explosion of indie gaming some time ago, no notable Lisp games was released. Lisp is supposed to be the secret weapon for single developers or small teams - yet I see none of it.

On performance, it is said that Lisp can be 1.5-3x performance of C, and there are even claims that it can go faster than C because the compiler + runtime are included. Now, on the "faster than C part", it's quite hard to believe, when Java with tons of engineering work, finds it quite hard to be on par with C.

Now, that being said, I present my pet peeves.

Lisps might need a lot of effort to reach "close-to-C" speed. Java can have moderately decent programmers with low to moderate effort, and produce "close-to-C" speed. That is the true achievement of Java in my opinion. I don't have to be damn fucking smart or spend a lot of time to achieve great performance, memory safety, easy-to-read code, and more, with just higher memory usage. And these days, I suspect it is even lower than SBCL if you limit memory and use parallel GC. That is a feat that is hard to beat.

What about C++? Lisp can reach "close-to-C" speed. There are claims that Lisps can beat C in speed because of compiler + runtime. Those are only claims. C++ has already beat C in performance, with zero overhead, using a poor mans macro (C++ template) https://stackoverflow.com/a/18004168.

On to the word "tooling", Lisp developers consider tooling as the ability to extend the language, create constructs that are simply not possible in other languages. In the rest of the world, tooling means... tooling.

Like the macro LOOP. If this is tooling, then it is a fucking monstrosity. We all have limited mental capacity. If my program is going to have multiple LOOP-like mental usage, well.. fuck me.

Toolings are like.. IDEs. And sometimes they are so damn good it is not even funny. But the most important thing they do is to reduce your mental load, by being as smart as possible. Tooling does the work, you do the coding. I sometimes wonder if IDE users realize you can do 99.9% of the same things with... | Hacker News (ycombinator.com)

And since I like Java, I will just say some things. Java the language is hilariously weak compared to Lisp, but the runtime, ecosystem, tooling, everything far outshines current Lisps. And the Java language are clearly designed by level-headed geniuses - at least they never claim that Java is the best full stop. Well, I consider them geniuses when I read Brian Goetz, Aleksey Shipilëv, or Ron Pressler when it comes to Java.

And while there is a saying that Java needs a state-of-the-art GC because of all the garbage it produces.. well it is also because of this GC that you can have highly performant code with mediocre code, that won't blow your memory.

The funny thing is that from a purely technological point of view, Java (even th... | Hacker News (ycombinator.com)

[slugcat-in-gundam]

What do you think of Java? Its overwhelmingly used for business software (like process modeling, document work and etc) to cut costs on not adapting it to different operating systems. It still uses "interpretation" like Python but on a bigger scale, though it compiles first for JVMs.

Also there are separate libraries used for specifically "field" inference action for machine learning that are written in C-family languages. As far as I know, its possible to convert from Python-made formats to formats used in these fast libraries. Giants like Alibaba use them. Its quite a bad decision to leave pure Python machine learning for final solution.

Spring AI 1.0 is a powerful and comprehensive Java AI engineering solution. Its goal is to lead the AI revolution with Java and Spring. Spring AI 1.0 integrates AI into business logic and data without the integration issues many Spring Boot-using enterprises confront. It lets developers use cutting-edge AI models in their apps, expanding possibilities.

Spring AI supports multiple AI models:

Images produced by text-command image models.

Audio-to-text transcription models.

Vectors are formed by embedding models that transform random data into them for semantic similarity search.

Chat models can edit documents and write poetry, but they are tolerant and easily sidetracked.

The following elements in Spring AI 1.0 enable conversation models overcome their limits and improve:

Use system prompts to set and manage model behaviour.

Memory is added to the model to capture conversational context and memory.

Making tool calling feasible for AI models to access external features.

Including confidential information in the request with rapid filling.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) uses vector stores to retrieve and use business data to inform the model's solution.

Evaluation to ensure output accuracy employs a different model.

Linking AI apps to other services using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which works with all programming languages, to develop agentic workflows for complex tasks.

Spring AI integrates seamlessly with Spring Boot and follows Spring developers' convention-over-configuration setup by providing well-known abstractions and startup dependencies via Spring Initialisation. This lets Spring Boot app developers quickly integrate AI models utilising their logic and data.

When using Gemini models in Vertex AI, Google Cloud connectivity is required. A Google Cloud environment must be created by establishing or selecting a project, enabling the Vertex AI API in the console, billing, and the gcloud CLI.

Use gcloud init, config set project, and auth application-default login to configure local development authentication.

The Spring Initialiser must generate GraalVM Native Support, Spring Web, Spring Boot Actuator, Spring Data JDBC, Vertex AI Gemini, Vertex AI Embeddings, PGvector Vector Database, MCP Client, and Docker Compose Support to build a Spring AI and Google Cloud application. The site recommends using the latest Java version, especially GraalVM, which compiles code into native images instead of JRE-based apps to save RAM and speed up startup. Set application properties during configuration.characteristics for application name, database connection options, Vertex AI project ID and location for chat and embedding models (gemini-2.5-pro-preview-05-06), actuator endpoints, Docker Compose administration, and PGvector schema initialisation.

PostgreSQL database with a vector type plugin that stores data with Spring AI's VectorStore abstraction? Database schema and data can be initialised on startup using schema.sql and data.sql files, and Spring Boot's Docker Compose can start the database container automatically. Spring Data JDBC creates database interaction and data access entities.

The ChatClient manages chat model interactions and is a one-stop shop. ChatClients need autoconfigured ChatModels like Google's Gemini. Developers can create several ChatClients with different parameters and conditions using ChatClient.Builder. ChatClients can be used with PromptChatMemoryAdvisor or QuestionAnswerAdvisor to handle chat memory or VectorStore data for RAG.

Spring AI simplifies tool calls by annotating methods and arguments with @Tool and @ToolParam. The model evaluates tool relevance using annotation descriptions and structure. New default tools can be added to ChatClient.

Spring AI also integrates with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which separates tools into services and makes them available to LLMs in any language.

For Google Cloud production deployments, Spring AI apps work with pgVector-supporting databases like Google Cloud SQL or AlloyDB. AlloyDB is built for AI applications with its high performance, availability (99.99% SLA including maintenance), and scalability.
