Workflow Case Study - Show us your pain!

I believe most workflow issues for programmers stems from the fact that the editor runs code in the same process (no other development environment does this).

  • Editor crashes when game crashes
  • Editor freezes when you switch from your code editor after having made changes to the code.
  • The fact that domain reloading and resetting state is a thing and takes time. In other programming environments you kill your program and all memory is cleared instantly.

Solving these issues would require expensive major rewrite of the editor. I instead propose making a lightweight runner for programmers, solving the programmer related workflow issues once and for all.
