Yeah okay that's sick, I'm building a Peggle clone in Unity with Clojure/Arcadia at the moment but this looks like it has the potential to be more accessible
I don't want to just pile on with praise spam, but this is really cool. It's great to see people building more tight, simple integrations with Open tools.
Agreed! Blender is so good and widely used now that it makes perfect sense to tightly integrate with it for your assets creation pipeline.
The most popular Blender-connected game engine around right now is Armory3D. There is an early WIP successor to that being built in Rust by a former Armory developer: https://github.com/katharostech/arsenal
I've barely used Dr Racket and even then it's been years so I might be misremembering, but I don't think it comes with any hot swap capabilities (the main point of this demo) out of the box, even though it had a REPL.
Yeah I was about to say, I can't think of any Scheme implementations or descendents with robust support for hot swapping.
Clojure is the only language I've been excited about since the early days of Ruby. I wish so much that it would catch on, and especially I wish it would supplant Javascript.
Clojure is such a sane, elegant, and expressive language. Elixir is pretty ok, especially on BEAM, but it looks like Perl compared to Clojure. It's just a tragedy that for the best career options one must basically choose between Python or Javascript. (js because that's what everyone uses for front end, and python because that's what's apparently eating the world via AI, ML, etc.). To be nice to Python, it's a very practical language. It just is completely inelegant compared to Ruby and especially Clojure (and even Elixir).
Every couple of years I tell myself, "I'm going to do my next project in Clojure; reality be damned!". But always I give up and fall in line.
Without maps or persistent data structures, it won't feel Clojure-ish beyond simple examples. But a lisp on top of the Python ecosystem is an exciting project.
Yeah, Clojure community probably has less active members than a number of engineers working say for Google or Facebook. But the awesome stuff and ideas it generates all the time is really surprising.

As far as I could see there’s no open source license in the repo though.
If I may I would like to suggest that you release it under the terms of the ISC license. It’s a highly permissive and very short and simple license.

Instant changes and no reload/recompiles.
I suggest some reading about Interlisp-D, Lisp Machines and Common Lisp commercial IDEs.
However when I talk about Lisp I seldom think of Scheme, due to their differences, in spite of the common parentheses.
