These DOOM Mods and other technologies have been under active development for decades. Wasm is the only new development. I first became interested in Wasm because of Koinos.
Part of the difficulty is that Rust is unfamiliar territory for most programmers. I skipped through this because I hardly knew any programming to begin with. Here is a quote I heard about Rust:
It's not "C++ but better". It's Haskell standing on Lisp's shoulders, hiding in C's coat to sneak into PRDCTN. (The fancy nightclub where all the popular language's hang out)
I have tried some Haskell and I can clearly see many similarities of code. But Rust looks very verbose and I need to learn more things to get started. I have seen other experienced developers claim that it is faster to code in a language like Go compared to Rust.
Rust force programmers to write good code. If the code is not safe, it probably won't even compile. It is more work to get started, but better in the long run.
I think they come one after the other. My personal analogy is to think of it as learning a new language. First I start to understand the language. But usually there is a translation layer happening. I think in a familiar language and then speak in another. After a while I start to think more and more in the target language and even get ideas and insights in the target language.
The word Grok could be a very interesting way to describe it. Sometimes people watch a movie and get overly affected by a fake thing. It happens a lot more with kids. The first step is to learn that the monsters aren't "real". Later they can learn more about how movies are made.
First we need to learn the dharma in an intellectual sense and over time come to understand it. Since you replied to a comment about programming, I will use that as context. After seeing some basic tutorials on Rust and I understand the basics of what is happening with the code and why it is such a good programming language. If you asked me to write even a simple program that take 50 - 100 lines of code, I would fumble around and not make anything productive. Those who have a better grasp on the language and use it daily will have a very easy time.

Let's have @aashirrshaikh review this in case it's beneficial ☝️

I have used https://www.tutorialspoint.com/rust to try out some of the basics. Rust is one of the more difficult languages. Best of Luck!
What makes it difficult?
I would think creating a programming language is partly about the language being easy to learn.

Lastly, do you see a difference between understanding the Universal Truth of Non-self intellectually, verses having realized Non-self?
