@AnnaGHughes I tried Common LISP many years ago. It felt a bit clunky but I could see the potential. Then Clojure came along and it’s pretty amazing. The main downside has been that it’s built on top of the Java VM which isn’t suitable for everything, but there are now other targets too.
@carce yeah, the numerics, webdev, and database communities are robust and friendly. I am not a part of game dev in any language, though, but guess they would be smaller communities in Clojure. What languages have exemplary game dev communities to you?
@worldsendless #haxe has most of the ecosystem there. #rust, #csharp, and of course #cpp. In no particular order. I know about http://arcadia-unity.github.io and https://github.com/oakes/play-cljc for #clojure but there are limitations to those choices.
@worldsendless honestly I am missing a bit stronger ecosystem around #clojure . I want to see some #gamedev so I can do my free time coding in the same language as my #webdev work
