CodeParadise VS kandria

I think these projects could be comparable: - JustPy for Python. - CodeParadise for Pharo Smalltalk. But I cannot go into details, because I don't have enough experience with those, only with CLOG.

Instead of having a Smalltalk image which contains the typical GUI (Morphic or otherwise being BitBlt on a HTML Canvas) I run a Smalltalk image which has a number of Classes representing WebComponents. These classes have a small interface with Javascript (implemented as primitive calls in case you are familiar, similar to other SqueakJS plugins). When instantiating such a WebComponent, it will also instantiate a DOM element (the WebComponent). Events in the browser are wrapped in Smalltalk event classes and will be given to an event handler process (Smalltalk process) which will do the relevant work. So for example drag and drop is implemented fully in Smalltalk. My code is free to use. See https://github.com/ErikOnBike/CodeParadise

A recent, notable game made in Lisp is Kandria: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1261430/Kandria/ / https://github.com/Shirakumo/kandria

Examples (for Common Lisp, so not citing Emacs): reddit v1, Google's ITA Software that powers airfare search engines (Kayak, Orbitz…), Postgres' pgloader (http://pgloader.io/), which was re-written from Python to Common Lisp, Opus Modus for music composition, the Maxima CAS, PTC 3D designer CAD software (used by big brands worldwide), Grammarly, Mirai, the 3D editor that designed Gollum's face, the ScoreCloud app that lets you whistle or play an instrument and get the music score,

but also the ACL2 theorem prover, used in the industry since the 90s, NASA's PVS provers and SPIKE scheduler used for Hubble and JWT, many companies in Quantum Computing, companies like SISCOG, who plans the transportation systems of european metropolis' underground since the 80s, Ravenpack who's into big-data analysis for financial services (they might be hiring), Keepit (https://www.keepit.com/), Pocket Change (Japan, https://www.pocket-change.jp/en/), the new Feetr in trading (https://feetr.io/, you can search HN), Airbus, Alstom, Planisware (https://planisware.com),

or also the open-source screenshotbot (https://screenshotbot.io), the Kandria game (https://kandria.com/),

and the companies in https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies and on LispWorks and Allegro's Success Stories.

Those two are definitely not incompatible. Take Karia[0] for example, which is fully Free Software[1].

I’ve seen a 1 person team support steam deck controls with a game written in lisp kandria. The battlebit devs have much better tools supporting steam deck using the unity engine. The controls for the steam deck is definitely not the main reason to abandon Linux, the anti cheat stuff seams to be the only thing in the way.

I don't know about "best", but the work that the Kandria dev has put into CL libraries to create his game has been impressive to see.

For what it's worth, I'd take a look at Common Lisp. It's perhaps less functionally-minded than OCaml, but I don't think it's fair to call it imperative. You'll encounter similar-looking patterns. There aren't loads of games for CL, but I've heard Kandria is super (https://github.com/Shirakumo/kandria), as well as being a great example project.
