    Exactly! I'm one of the core devs, and we all see Arcadia as an experiment in what game development could be. Some people want to expend effort mastering the tools of the day, and …

    Fair, but there's an important difference between a tool where live coding is technically possible and a tool designed to support it. Clojure is built from the ground up for the RE…

    IL2CPP has been on our radar for a while. We haven't gotten any real access to Unity 5 yet, so we can't say what the compatibility will be like for sure. But since IL2CPP acts on t…

    Totally! Arcadia is based on the Clojure-CLR port (an official project) maintained by David Miller for five years or so. It supports Mono. We had to fork the compiler to introduce …
