Once upon a time, in a rabbit outsourcing warren of Bunnylore, there was a young software developer bunny. And as a developer, she has had one very unusual treat: she was obsessed with eliminating all the bugs she can get his forelegs on. So, it is not surprising that her friends called her a “No Bugs” Bunny (or simply “NoBugs”).
Later on, she grew up, so she decided that “Bunny” in her name has became inappropriate (not to mention potential arguments with Warner Brothers), so she has asked all her friends to call her “No Bugs” Bunny. She has made a career as a team lead and software architect, and they lived happily ever after.

In practice, for most classical RPGs you can get away with simulating each of your PCs and NPCs as a box (parallelepiped), or as prism (say, hexagonal or octagonal one)

Mathematically speaking, without Interest Management, the amount of data on our servers will need to send (to all players combined), is O(N^2). Interest Management reduces this number to O(N)

For fast-paced games, there is one big problem with the flow shown on this diagram, and the name of the problem is “latency” (a.k.a. 'input lag')
Another Quote:
No, better bandwidth doesn't necessarily mean better latency

From the 50'000-feet point of view, 90% of the differences between modern mainstream programming languages (as they're normally used - or better to say, SHOULD be used - at application-level) are minor or superficial.

On the server side (unlike client-side) protection from bot writers is not an issue (as server-side code is never exposed to players)

Quote:
With 'callback pyramid' it is not easy to express the concept of 'wait for more than one thing to complete' , which leads to unnecessary sequencing, adding to latencies (which may or may not be a problem for your purposes, but still a thing to keep in mind).

Don't even think of converting all of your code to a so-called Continuation-Passing-Style
