USD is more for scenes than models. It's meant primarily for stuff like 3dsmax and blender, and is far more complex than gltf.
It's also not really supported everywhere. Pretty much every game engine lacks support for USD, while most (except unity for some reason) have at least some gltf support.
USD is also, at least as far as I'm concerned, dead in the water. I have never encountered a single USD file in the wild, though that might just be because I mainly only work in blender and godot.
I'm not against USD, and I'd love to see it get some more love, but it serves a different purpose than gltf.
Nim. It's kinda hard to describe, but it just feels very clean. Makes me wish python had decent static typing and proper variable declarations. Though calling Nim a "compiled python" really doesn't do it justice in the least. I have done some unholy things with compile-time evaluation and macros in this language, it's so much fun.
GDScript is also great. Fixes some of the gripes I had with python as well. Godot is also just a really good game engine so that helps.
Python itself is also great. Has really good packages for almost any use and is really easy to just pick up and use. My main gripe is that it's dynamic. Yes it supports typing, but it doesn't make it any better when almost no libraries use it.
Rust is neat, but I find myself hitting a wall whenever I try to pick it up again. I love the memory safety and type system, but it's not the kinda language you can just pick up and play around in for a few minutes, you kinda have to have a project from the getgo to get any use out of it.
C is fun just for the bullshit you can do with memory and pointers, but I find myself using rust or nim for anything that requires proper memory management.
This isn't about more windmills though, this is about EVs perpetuating the atomization and car dependency that got us into this mess, and thus being at best a band-aid fix and at worst preventing better solutions from taking form.
I don't know why you're being downvoted, you're right. Something as massive as climate change requires extreme change from us. A band-aid fix like EVs is only going to give the illusion of a solution. Reducing suburban sprawl and expanding mass transit will do much more for the environment than EVs ever could.
Yes, EVs are a good step, but they're little more than a compromise, we should be pushing to reduce our reliance on cars and semis as much as possible. The focus on EVs makes some people lose sight of this. People seem to be reluctant to change, holding out for some drop-and-swap fix that will solve everything. At the end of the day though, even the greenest car is way less energy efficient than the average bus, while also consuming much more road space per person.
Even then I wouldn't trust it. Getting hacked or getting a virus could become a life or death scenario.
