Re: A realistic vision of the next iteration of Unity

 

Thanks for the positive feedback! I actually included the

But the other points you brought up are of course of great importance as
well, it was just really hard remembering everything I wanted to write down

And Arian, I will look into the design document and see if and when I can
add something there, though I think the best solution would be a full
fledged, unified, I/O platform for the future. Great initiative though!

What of my points could be added to LP so that we don't get duplicate
