One of my nephews was really into it a few years ago, didn't realize it had gotten so much bigger since then. Also had no idea it was associated with programming in any way. Maybe I'm just not good at knowing things....

It's finally up there with the big players now it's reached 100 million monthly active users and its only started to rapidly grow in the last few years, i'm really exited about its future but also anxious.

If I could have one wish for Roblox is that it turn open source, that'd just be amazing but not going to happen, I can always dream...

Also had no idea it was associated with programming in any way.

Roblox often gets the "Oh its a proper game engine" or "You can code on it, huh" which is understandable and this is why its a bit of an unknown goldmine in the dev landscape, too often I've gotten "Oh you work on Roblox???" and "You can make a living on that??".

Maybe I'm just not good at knowing things....

Right there with ya!
