I’m an amateur lisper, mostly #Guile and #EmacsLisp, but if someone wants to team up for this #GameJam, I’d be interested!
I also do some basic art, game design, sound, and music. I wouldn’t want to be the sole programmer for this jam but could definitely contribute there and would love to learn more #Lisp.

The Spring Lisp Game Jam is happening once again! Join us for 10 days of consing up little games starting on May 9th! https://itch.io/jam/spring-lisp-game-jam-2025 #lisp #gamejam #lispgamejamToot.Cat
that’s actually a really cool trick — the many with-usages (like locks!) are a huge boon to understandable code.
And while it took me 25 lines of code to implement this with with wisp ( hg.sr.ht/~arnebab/wisp/browse/… ) it’s only Python where that’s the default way to do things.
(there is no superfluous with in the previous paragraph ☺)
Being able to add stuff like this to the language cleanly is why I started to move my personal projects from #Python to #Guile #Scheme in 2013, though.
Hey there I wrote an update about Guile Hoot, Spritely's Scheme -> WASM compiler project, and it includes an embedded demo that works on the latest Chrome Dev or Firefox Nightly. The WASM GC future is here. We think Hoot is a pretty unique and cool project in the WASM world and I hope this post explains why in an understandable way.
Woo! We've got the first messages being send between guile spritely goblins and racket spritely goblins!
🥳 🎉
Also, a big thanks to NLnet for funding this work!
