Imagine it like cooking at home vs takeout.

Engine-light is like cooking at home, the engine (restaurant/market) does as little as possible. For the most part you have to do everything yourself to create a meal (the game).
All the sauces need to be created from basic little ingredients, meal has to be properly cooked and spiced.

Engine-heavy is takeout. You just choose which food you want. That is great if they have exactly what you want, otherwise there are problems.

At the time this was getting decided, they were in the middle. To continue the analogy: They ordered burger patty, it was done from one side, then they had to manually do the other. The salad was cleaned, but as whole head(?).
That meant, you had to order from the restaurant - which needed all the equipment and took resources to make everything; at the same time, you still had your kitchen all dirty and spend time on making your own meal.

I'd compare it to something like Blue Apron. You have a selection of dishes to choose from which come with some level of prepared raw ingredients, however you still need to do some amount of cutting, assembling, and cooking. This is great because you can improvise more and maybe create something better than the stock blue apron meal. Turns out home cooking is pretty hard, and even though us designers have pretty good taste in food, we're not always great at cooking it. We could all take cooking classes and become better cooks, but actually we have a bunch of bomb-ass michelin star chefs to help us make our culinary dreams a reality.

Hire me Riot.

arraysstartat1

You're also only printing out "Helloworl". Need a "<=" if you start at 1 and end at array.length ;)

Edit: I'm wrong, fire me :(
