I'd convert, however, just release the game in a playable state in 1.0
with all the features we've been expecting for like four years now,
and release 2.0 with the new engine in a better, stabler, language.
I'm currently listening to Mamacitas in my Valley by DiggiDis on the
album Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Nintendo 64) and is currently
Playing.
