Aha, thanks for the info. Then I believe Janet could fill a similar role. What little profiling I've seen puts them in a similar category: https://github.com/MikeBeller/janet-benchmarksgame/blob/mast...

Last time I checked, Carp doesn't have a REPL that can interact with a running process. In Janet you can do things like change functions during runtime.

I think this is LuaJIT, or? Iiuc Janet is comparable to non-JITed Lua. But I actually have no clue.

You can access any element in your array in O(1). I think it is faster to loop through as well, but I'm not so sure about that. The drawback is that appending / removing elements at the beginning of the array is O(n). When it come

This is what I was referring to, sorry for being unclear. :)

Thank you! That is exactly what I'm going for. :) My friend said "so you're just making basic?", haha. I didn't get to experience C64 / Amiga era, but after having listened to 100s of interviews with swedish ga

It's easy to treat any C struct as an abstract object in Janet, then have functions that do specific things (e.g. write to the file, read from it, etc). You have to write some manual code, but it's generally not too bad.

This is solid advice. :)

I know I had some trouble with raylib's dependencies on Linux. If you get stuck, feel free to at me at the janet gitter.

Oh, that's really cool. :) Thanks for mentioning it.

Thank you. :) If you do try it out, I'd be happy for any feedback on Freja! :) I should mention that Windows support is currently a bit behind, so if you're on Windows I could fix that then comment here again when it's done.

I'm making an editor, Freja, which is like a tiny Emacs with graphical support. Makes it fun to create gui apps and games. :) Ultima Underworld inspired game I'm making for a game jam: https://youtu.be/1fWsV83P-S8

Though you can share memory manually, i.e. in C but access it from Janet.

Ah, that's cool. I haven't heard of similar integrations with python, but I imagine it's possible to set up. :) Hope you're having fun with it! If you get a chance to watch the videos it might give you some extra ideas o

I'm happy you asked! :) I think these terms are very vague, and I haven't found a good way to be more clear. For me a "real repl" includes: 1. Decent support from the language to do REPLy things E.g. being able to change

I've used it to make Freja, a text editor making coding GUIs and games fun for me again. Demo: https://youtu.be/KOBi805nxNc When comparing to non-lisps 1. It has a real REPL, so you can do live coding (this is what mak
