It's not a "serious" project. I chose Go specifically because I like the language (and Ebitengine is super fun to work with) and I like the idea behind ECS. I made games with Unity before, which you could consider a "serious" engine, but the fun of development is nowhere near what I experienced here.

Thinking about what would be the most efficient engine for the game would kill all the fun for me and the project wouldn't exist. :)

I do also really like Go for various reasons, and have been working on a Go -> C++ transpiler and associated ECS libs to make a personal game project with. I used it to make a game for Raylib game jam earlier this year too: https://github.com/nikki93/raylib-5k You can see what the development workflow looks like in this video (the ECS stuff also has a built-in editor like a much more minimal version of Unity's): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8He97Sl9iy0

I'm trying to decide how much time I should devote to making this easier to set up / use by other people in the medium term, since it's just a side project for me. Might make a codespaces template so it's quick to get started.

The most efficient game engine is the one you'll actually use!
