Do they really think this makes their crappy amateur app into Houdini?

60% of the developers are commited to that shit, in the rewrite of cycles to get 10% performance they have about 30% of them too.....

If they do, it would be free.

Yeah pick up a book on numerical geometry and linear algebra.

Yes. Not currently, but eventually it absolutely will make Houdini obsolete.
This is just the first step (which already covers all the uses that many people would have for this sort of thing, except for free and in a way easier package).

Just keep your mouth shut, dude. Christ.
Geonodes are not halfway there even to C4D's MoGraph module + fields.
To be able to even just start competing with Houdini, before anything else Blender needs to have much better performance at core things (which is basically not happening, unless Blender gets rewritten from ground up) and be able to do all kinds of sims well.
t. someone who actually uses Blender 90% of the time, tries to use it as much as possible, and spends every other project 2x-4x+ more time on things that I know can be done that much faster in C4D and/or Houdini
