That's true. I was mainly trying to indicate there is no boxing or anything like some languages seem to have with their types.

> int is 32 bits with no sign bit or anything like other Lisp implementations do

This seems potentially confusing, since usually "int" just refers to a signed integer of some platform specific size.

Maybe it would be better to say something like, "int is like uint32_t, 32 bits and no sign bit without any additional data"?

There is a module in gamelib [0] which will automatically clone, build, and link raylib to your program. There are several other third party libs there as well, including SDL2 and Curl.

Memory allocation matches C, i.e. malloc and free are used. If interoperating with C++, you can use new and delete.

Author here! Isconnected is a hypothetical.

Chat profanity filtering is usually part of Xbox/PlayStation certification requirements, so their hands might be tied on that.

And those certification requirements are written by whom?

I have a Surface Pro 2 running with the linux-surface kernel [0]. It feels like it has some rough edges - you have to decide between having pen support or having touch screen support, and suspend can be unreliable. These issues may be fixed now. Also, I encrypted my Windows partition, and now it requires the key each time to boot up, so I recommend against doing that.

Overall, I do agree that the hardware feels quite nice, and besides those issues I listed, the Linux experience is quite good. I was very happy to not be forced to use Windows.

I'm not sure why you say it's a "quite safe" assumption that most games are written in C#. Unity's beginner-friendliness gives it a disproportionate presence online, while the vast majority of AAA games are still solidly C++.

If we eliminate all games with less than 1000 sales or something, I think it would be a very low confidence estimate.

I think perhaps they meant "most Unity games", where Unity was supposed to be implied by the context. It probably is safe to say most Unity games are C#, if we ignore the portion of the engine runtime that is written in C++, which makes sense for some metrics and not others.

I did something similar with a Raspberry Pi and Waveshare e-ink display: https://github.com/makuto/home-life-display

Yes, there's nothing in the language which is specific to games.

Once I get pure C output supported, it should be suitable even for embedded C environments.

That's correct. My goal wasn't to make a CL-compatible Lisp. I imagine the code will start to look less like C as more macros/generators get added.
