The optimization of the game is generally praised, as it is built on a compiled language that minimizes issues like stuttering and slowdown commonly found in interpreted languages. Users note that the inbuilt commands allow for easy adjustments to code speed, making it forgiving even for less optimized code.
“It's a compiled language, so you're not going to have problems with stuttering and slowdown associated with interpreted alternatives. In fact, for most projects, I find I have to slow the code down, which is easy to do with the inbuilt commands. This is very forgiving if your code doesn't have the best optimization.”
