--- title: "Why I'm comparing languages on the same game" description: Introducing my tower defense language comparison series — Odin, C, and C++. date: 2026-07-01 type: lesson series: td-language-comparison series_order: 1 tags: ["odin", "c", "cpp", "tower-defense"] draft: true --- I'm building the same tower defense game in multiple languages — starting with Odin, then C, then C++ — to compare what each language is actually like for game development. This isn't a benchmark blog. I'm documenting ergonomics, tooling, bugs, and the feeling of working in each language day to day. More posts in this series coming soon.
