You can compile .NET to native statically linked binaries, too.

How do you accurately resimulate if you don't rollback everything to the previous state? E.g. a giant wall moved from point A to B but it was accurately predicted (no rollback). Don't you need to roll the wall back to accurately simulate everything around it?

EDIT: I misunderstood the previous comment, I think you are rolling back everything that changed, and not rolling back objects which were "static" in that timeframe.

Other than the fact that WebGPU sucks compared to modern Vulkan + extensions, there’s nothing stopping you from just using webgpu even in a native-only project, with no further abstraction

You can expose a C interface from many languages (C++, Rust, C# to name a few that I've personally used). Instead of introducing a new language entirely, it's probably better to write the library in one of the languages you already use.

Presumably because Minecraft is the only application which still uses OpenGL but would use the extension

If your goal is to learn Metal, then just start with Metal. It's a significantly better-designed API. On top of that, if you're developing on an Apple device then you'll have a decent debugging experience with Metal, as opposed to OpenGL where you'll get... nothing last I checked (but it's been a while).

Where can I read more about that?

Even most technically-minded people still use QWERTY on full-size computer keyboards despite it being a terrible layout for a number of reasons. I really doubt a new, nonstandard keyboard would get much if any traction on phones.

Was this widely known?

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is incredible, but dangerously addictive. It's the perfect game for a 4-5 hour plane ride -- speaking from experience over the recent holidays.
