Hi! Defold Foundation member here.

1. The first lines of Defold code were written more than 10 years ago and at that time Cap'n'Proto and Flatbuffers didn't exist. One could argue that we should change to a newer format, but for our purposes protobuf still works really well.

2. Defold uses LuaSockets to make TCP and UDP sockets available to developers through our Lua API. And we also make TCP sockets available to our C extension system.

3. The next big task which we will start the new year with is a full review of our texture compression formats. Basis Universal is on our list of formats to investigate.

4. While we do support import of basic 3D models our focus has been mainly on 2D content. We are currently negotiating funding for improved 3D support in a work package for 2021. If all goes well you can expect some major improvements in this area.

Feel free to ask more questions!
