Moroxa: The Future of RPG Development
Adam: Moroxa is the wrong choice until we get the string process and stuff like fully baked. There's a lot of cool things that people are doing and finding utility on our platform, right? And in a myriad of ways. As you continue to build and iterate on the product, what are some of the things you have planned for the near to medium term of Moroxa or any particular problem areas that you're excited to dig into? Adam: You hear me say, stateful, stain processing, adding support for for additional languages like C sharp and Kotlin and maybe even Rust.

Summary
Real-time capabilities have quickly become an expectation for consumers. The complexity of providing those capabilities is still high, however, making it more difficult for small teams to compete. Meroxa was created to enable teams of all sizes to deliver real-time data applications. In this episode DeVaris Brown discusses the types of applications that are possible when teams don't have to manage the complex infrastructure necessary to support continuous data flows.
