Hey, just out of curiosity how many people are interested in using unity / godot on arcadia?

Not sure about Arcadia specifically, but it's in my plans to get my hands dirty with Godot + Clojure some time this year.

Ok, well I’m seriously looking at it now, I’m giving myself 2 weeks to get something up and running and at the very least try and get a management game screen up and running (Theme Hospital style) So feel free to hit me up if you feel like it

I'll keep that in mind, thanks. :) As for why not Arcadia - AFAIK GDExtension supports JVM now, and there are bindings for Kotlin out there, and at least some attempts to make them for Clojure.

Oh really? I didn’t know that

Hmm, that raises an interesting question, what about if I did a jvm port of arcadia for godot? Any opinions on that?

No clue, sorry - I haven't looked deep enough into that. Maybe it could work, or maybe the API differences are significant enough to make it unfeasible or full of bad trade-offs.

Ok, I’m going to go do some experimenting 😃

Godspeed. :)
