Finally, on 27th July, Blow noted the "whole industry is having a hard time" and then, when asked how many of his development team are working on the compiler for programming language Jai, Blow replied: "None, because we can't afford to pay anyone because the sales are bad."

Oof. I don't like Jon Blow, but I do like Braid. Sad to see nobody really cares about it anymore.

Fair point.

Time will tell when Sokoban and Silksong releases. It’s hard to know what’s happening internally at the studios and why it’s taking so long.

Making an entire programming language is a bold move, and I’m skeptical it’s a move that’s going to pay off.
