> Is Odin “just” a language for game development? # > No. It is a common misconception that Odin is “just” for game development (“gamedev”) due to the numerous vendor packages that could be used in the aid of the development of a game. However, gamedev is pretty much the most wide domain possible where you will do virtually every area of programming possible. > > Odin is a general purpose language; is capable of being used in numerous different areas from application development, servers, graphics, games, kernels, CLI/TUIs, etc. > > There are many aspects of Odin which do make working with 2D and 3D related operations (which are common in gamedev) much nicer than other languages, especially Odin’s array programming, swizzling, #soa data types, quaternions and matrices, and so much more niceties which other languages do not offer out-of-the-box.
