Godot appreciation post
For what it's worth, Godot can do the same: there's a Godot version of Arcadia for using Clojure, and Godot F# tools takes some of the tedium out of using F#, though you have to make a small tweak to the .fsproj file it generates because the Mono assemblies moved. It works via a cheesy little hack: you make a C# script in Godot that's just an empty class that does nothing else but inherit from an F# class, and the F# project builds at the same time by adding it as a dependency of the Godot-generated .csproj file. Godot doesn't know anything weird is going on and it just kind of works :)

Easiest lib to use for gui
For something OCaml-like but more approachable, it'd probably make more sense to try using the Godot game engine with F#. You can build the GUI itself visually, the godot-fsharp-tools plugin lets you piggyback on the C# support to write code in F#, and it's pretty easy to build for different platforms. The learning curve of figuring out how things work and translating it to F# is a bit steep, but can be mitigated by starting with the built-in GDscript and working in F# code where it makes sense as comfort and familiarity increases.

What do you NOT like about Godot?
I looked at it before, but I'm generally more interested in languages like OCaml, F#, and Clojure (I tend to think and code in a more FP style so they suit me better) so I ended up using this plugin. I should probably give Nim another look since it has some features I like; I just really like the more advanced OCaml and F# type systems, making Nim seem like a step backward in that regard so I never gave it much consideration.

Godot Engine on a Raspberry Pi 4 in action!
I haven't messed with it much lately but I was working from a combination of Godot F# tools and this 3-part blog post, plus a bit of trial-and-error. I don't have any good examples, I was doing a few tests to feel through how C# examples in the Godot documentation translated to F# and some random not-Godot-specific F# code setting up some data structures and logic. I'm more familiar with OCaml so I was basically trying to feel out F#/OCaml differences while figuring out F#/Godot integration, rather than make anything coherent enough to use as an example.

interested in learning lisp, (specifically for games, but also for everything else including tui and gui applications for linux. currently have next to no programming knowledge, can i get forwarded some resources and some tips on what exactly i should do? any videos i should watch?
arcadia adds clojure (a lisp) to unity as a scripting language. You get to use a very good and well documented 3d game engine while still scripting stuff in your game in a lisp. there's a godot version too. The blender>unity/godot pipeline is pretty easy and documented. However, these game engines themselves are a lot to learn for your first game, especially if you're doing unorthodox stuff with them such as using lisp you won't find many tutorials.

Clojure started out on the CLR before the decision was made to focus on the JVM instead, and some people still maintain an unofficial ClojureCLR port. Some people used that to make Arcadia, which builds on ClojureCLR to make it work in Unity. Here's an old video of someone Clojure's REPL-driven development to make on-the-fly scene changes, kind of cool.

Unsure what to do with Clojure
Arcadia uses ClojureCLR to work with Clojure in unity. Also Godot engine version.
