Hi folks!

I very recently released GameLisp, a game scripting language for Rust, after working on it on-and-off for several years. The language has some innovations in its garbage collector, its object system and its Rust API which I hope you might find interesting.

Happy to answer any questions!

Great job! I'm really impressed with the simplicity. But more than that, congratulations on writing proper the documentation at a so earlier version! That's really awesome. I hope you the best for you and your projects.

I played the online game versions (minesweeper & tetris), I enjoyed a lot. In general, using GameLisp, how much work do you need to export a game to work in the browser?

Because the glsp crate and all of its dependencies are pure Rust code, a game engine which uses GameLisp can be compiled directly into WebAssembly. The playground is implemented in about 300 lines of Rust and about 900 lines of vanilla JavaScript.

Making a full-fledged WebAssembly game engine would be a little more difficult, but none of that difficulty would come from GameLisp :)
