This week I’ve been looking into other languages. Nim I started with Nim which has a python-style syntax, and compiles to C or JavaScript. I’m not a huge fan of space-is-important languages since I think it makes it harder to make your code pretty, but I am actively trying to do something new here. Perhaps if

I had a read through of the Clojure website today while thinking about how I would move forward in making a game using ClojureScript. Keeping in the functional model, roughly what we’d be doing in this game is running a loop that effectively takes the current state, applies a transform and stores the new state;

ClojureScript Experiments
ClojureScript was one of the options that piqued my interest when I saw it on the list for several reasons: It’s a modern but fully featured language It’s functional (as opposed to imperative) My sister programs in Clojure so I’ve heard a bit about it I don’t know it at all, so it would be an

Deciding on a Programming Language
I thought this would be easy, but this is proving to be a bit more trouble than I expected. From my criteria in the last post, there are a very large number of languages/platforms that I could use, for example just a few of these are: JavaScript TypeScript Nim Haxe CoffeeScript Elm ClojureScript Kotlin Unity
