You can’t re-assign references. In my c-style c++ I only ever use them in function arguments but not as member variables so they don’t become an issue with zero initialization.

Setting the motion quality of moving body to linear helped with the tunneling.

There are still issues with too many stacked bodies pushing each other through the ground but that's a rather unrealistic scenario in terms of gameplay.

Overall I'm really happy with Jolt already ❤️

It's still a lot work ahead, I need to adjust my asset data structures and there are some tunnelling issues. I suspect these might related to my update loop.

But all in all I really enjoyed the jolt integration so far - it worked almost flawless for both macOS and windows platforms.

Don't get me wrong on this: CLion is a great tool and I am still convinced and happy to use it as there is no true comparable alternative for cross platform c++ dev! But I am highly concerned by recent shift towards AI. A lot of software got worse and drastically lost quality after AI was introduced

At least after you’ve disabled all AI features in the payed version it seems to be relatively fine - but the distrust stays that this could changed at any time.

to lean fully towards the new “full AI code assistant vibe code workstation” direction. AI might have it place but the way they enforce it upon the users and make it harder to dodge is a bit too much in my opinion.

It began with the decision to make certain AI features Opt-Out rather than Opt-In, having to check the plug-ins for silently added and enabled new ones that involve AI after updating and the general distrust in the product that you sense when noticing how the direction JetBrains are aiming for seems

I wish there was a light IDE alternative - ideally open source - without the AI bs but still at a sweet middleground between the TUI editors, simplistic gui editors like Sublime and full fledged IDEs like CLion/VS
(No VS Code is not an option)
October 20, 2025 at 6:20 PM
Okay, that matches my experience - too bad -.- I really like the sides that CLion does well, refactor and re-format features and that it's essentially a cmake wrapper - but all the recent development towards AI enshittification makes it hard to stay..

@sosowski.bsky.social feel ya-how does nvim work for you? Whenever I take the effort to start learning it I stop after a few hours as the sheer amount of config and learning curve distracts me too much(even with lazyvim).

So far in regards to tui editors Helix has been a bit more accessible to me.
