Looks like just what I have been trying to find, since I am incapable of writing my own. I did start with 'Learn C * Build Your Own Lisp' book [1], and I will finish it for educational purposes; it is a great, short book to work through, and should help with grokking Carp. The closest I have come to finding something similar for livecoding visuals and audio, or games is Extempore [2], which has xtlang, a Scheme, with manual memory management and types. The only two criticisms I have, and they are small, are the build and number of dependencies, and how to distribute standalone executeables. In all fairness there are binaries now available for all platforms, but standalones are still problematic. I curse Fluxus [3] for starting me down this crazy road many years ago in search of the best creative coding environment. Shame it is not refreshed every so often, because the interface is brilliant. I'll have to look over Carp this weekend more closely. I am intrigued how it is like Rust's semantics. And if it is manual memory management all the way, then I guess that is where it differs from Rust's safety features? Now I don't have to try Clojure again! I don't like the JVM, and prefer going to C.
