    Clojure in Unity

  • 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.

  • ArcadiaGodot

  • 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 :)
