Still Alive?

Looks great, ClojureScript, game engine - super.

But no commits in years.

What did people move on to?

I need to dev a game in ClojureScript. Thx

Thanks for the ping. As you mentioned, I have not paid any attention to this project in quite awhile. These days I just use Unity--not quite my dream of a purely functional repl-driven game development experience, but productive.

Hi, Alex, good to hear from you. Hmm.. that is disappointing, as I have the same dream. :-)

Had you seen this?

If so, what do you think?

Arcadia is super cool, Tims and Ramsey are both really talented. If I recall, one of the big challenges was the mono runtime environment and hacking around it (clojure clr in general), but it’s been years since I’ve looked at the project in detail so I’m sure a lot has changed.

Have you heard anything about its viability as a game dev environment? From the talks they give on YT, it looks good, and it's been out 6 years now (April 2014), and is still has active development, all looks good. Probably a hard question to answer, but if you were starting a Unity project now (or refactoring one), would you recommend giving it a try? (You can answer me in private/email, if you like..) It just looks so tempting.. but I am new to both Unity and Clojure (though not to LISPs..) Thanks..
