ok but can we get an @metatable keyword or similar to strictly denote a table type with a metatable.

type Cat = {
  ["@metatable"] = {
    index: (Cat, any, any) -> any
  }
}

type Cat = typeof(setmetatable({},{__index=(nil::any)::(Cat,any)->any}))

This is a way to define Cat as an empty table with an index metamethod that takes any and returns any. Not sure why you made index take 3 arguments, are you thinking of newindex?

--!strict
type Cat = typeof(setmetatable({},{__index=(nil::any)::(Cat,any)->any}))
local x:Cat = setmetatable({},{__index=function(_:Cat,v:any)return v end})
-- no warnings

The syntax you use there also conflicts with the normal syntax {[T]:v}, and using = is weird in that context

This update is packed full of neat stuff.

This is something I’ve wanted for ages, and makes a lot of UI-related calculations much simpler when it comes to ScrollingFrames.

Both of these were previously mentioned in release notes, and, I’m super excited to see them improving. The impacts this will have on some of my OOP code is likely going to be pretty noticeable!

These sound extremely interesting, and, I’m very curious about them. Interestingly, Vector3Curve and FloatCurve are Instances, not datatypes, however, FloatCurveKey is a datatype and accepts two numbers and an Enum called Enum.KeyInterpolationMode according to its type info.

If I’m interpreting this right, will I be able to get an animation ID without having to leave studio? Right now I have to click a link and copy an ID from my browser, which is really inefficient. If this is correct, then man I am happy. Workflow: improved!

Sorry to be a thorn in your side again. I’m really close to releasing my latest game, but unfortunately this bug is still happening on mobile devices even with the workaround I’m using, and as a result all of the characters have demon eyes at certain camera angles on mobile.

Is there any chance you can give an update on this or tell me what the flag is called that hasn’t been turned on yet (i.e. something that can be tracked via https://fflag.eryn.io/)? I want the launch to be smooth, and I want mobile users to have a consistent experience and a good first impression playing my game.

Flag will be turned on Monday.

Bonus explanation: The reason that this bug was so subtle is that it derives from stable vs non-stable sorting. The things to be rendered are sorted in multiple ways to get the final order. std::sort is stable for arrays of less than 32 things, so only in very complex edge cases where there were a lot of objects in the block of things to render the non-stability of the larger sort clobbered the decal order that came from an earlier sort on Z-index.
