That's pretty interesting. I recall that there was a project to integrate Clojure and Unity but I don't know how active it is: https://github.com/arcadia-unity

He seems like an ultra pragmatic guy and is undoubtedly a great programmer.

It is very active. Search youtube for "arcadia clojure" - lots of very compelling/recent demos.

Arcadia dev here! We're always actively working on Arcadia, and are closing in on our next release that brings with it a package manager and all kinds of other goodness. Keep an eye on the repo or jump in the gitter for updates. Lisp in VR is super exciting! We're following Carmack's work closely.

Also worthwhile to checking out a SkillsMatter talk Tim (one of the Arcadia authors) gave, really appreciate the sense of freedom/interactivity in the demo talk (once he gets into it) https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/6416-games-and-3d-graphics-in-arcadia https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/6416-games-and-3d-graph...
