[2021] [Personal Opinion] Factorio is a brilliant example of why the C family of programming languages are so important, even to this day

Really just came here to say that! It's a brilliant game, and one of the keys to success (in my personal opinion) is the choice of programming language, being C++. This game is clearly extremely well optimised and it shows that the C family of programming languages, in a world of "bloatware and modern languages" is still an essential part of computer science. Again all my personal opinion!

Thanks and enjoy :-)
