I currently have 8GB of ram which is laughably bad. Though I will be upgrading it to 16 or 24 GB very soon. 8GB just doesn't do the job when you have YouTube, Visual Studio & Unreal open at the same time. But I think with 16GB of ram and VS Code, I should be able to at least compile scripts. So it is a viable option.
Though I feel like I should do a lot more research about Voxels before deciding. I mainly have to decide if I want to make the Voxel engine in C# or C++ or with the mix of both.
