Recently I'm seeing more and more fashy people hailing AI "art", and while I might have made a Twitter thread on the subject a year ago, I want to dig deeper in what lies behind the scenes, besides of "woke mind virus", "the transes were mean to my VTuber oshi for plaing the wizard game, billions must die", "artists are not REAL workers, thus they must learn to weld" (which itself can be an art), etc. I want to write an article about the subject.

I personally see and even experience fascistic work ethics on a daily basis (I live in Hungary), however I still need to see the underlying workings, also I can point the readers to further investigate such things. Also I need more context for fascism's relationship to art besides futurism (will be very relevant to geek gatekeeping), marble pillars, and "returning to tradition by honoring the great masters".

My main issues are living in a country (Hungary), where a college degree would be almost mandatory for any dev jobs (mainly due to HR being dumb), also I'm disabled so my only job opportunity is a crappy government program one that pays half the minimum wage for full-time employment (!!!!!!), but this is the only no-12 hour shift and no-6AM starting option (most of which are also like 60+km from me, which means I would have to wake up even earlier, which isn't good for my health at all). however, not only a pay is very low, but also the 7AM starting is beginning to be way too much for my health. I'm already on sleeping pills to try to make myself fall asleep before midnight (almost impossible), and I also don't have the money to get my meds changed to something better at a private doctor. Of course no disability benefits, because "I'm not disabled enough", and otherwise I would just spend it on luxury cars (a common pre-2010 myth in Hungary was that disabled people could buy brand new Mercedeses).

I primarily have experience with game development (mainly from open source stuff), but without a long list of corporate experience, I have an even harder chance. I could work at other places too (I have some audio development experiences too), but would like to stay far away from web development.

Since I'm having untracable issues with Lua due to its API and lackluster documentation, I've decided to drop it from my game engine (PixelPerfectEngine) in favor of some easier to use alternatives.

What I need is:

• open source
• small footprint even if it at the cost of some complexity (I need it as a scripting engine, not as a replacement for compiled application languages)
• integer support (I don't care if I could just round it on the backend)
• C or C++ ABI
• can be embedded into a software (yes, there are people that suggest you to use janky solutions like passing data in files and command line)

Even a better Lua implementation would suffice, and if I had the time, I would port the official one to D (my main language), while getting rid of the godawful stack method of control.
