Suggestions for a functional language for videogames

• cakelisp

  11 327 7.2 C++

  Discontinued Metaprogrammable, hot-reloadable, no-GC language for high perf programs (especially games), with seamless C/C++ interop

Also look into Gamelisp's state machines which are an awesome way of modeling stateful in-game objects. Cakelisp is another cool language made specifically for gamedev.

• mun

You might want to take a look at mun, which is in this space, meets a lot of those requirements, and steals a bunch from rust.

• Nu

  4 1,024 10.0 F#

  Repository hosting the open-source Nu Game Engine and related projects.

Take a look at Nu. I haven't used it, but it seemed pretty heavily inspired by Elm when I was reading about it.
