Have you explored Arcadia at all? It uses the Clojure CLR port to hook into Unity with some sweet repl goodness.

There seems to be some active development and I hope it works out great.
By a fun coincidence, I stumbled on the r/roguelikedev subreddit this weekend and they are just today starting a "how to make a roguelike" read through. (It is a different tutorial than what you linked.)
I'm curious how the new Github Sponsors development plays into the one or very few maintainer "issue." My gut instinct tells me it will be an added incentive to keep the governance of such projects small or solo because how do you deal with distributing the funds over numerous maintainers with vastly different levels of contribution? I guess one could argue that a project valuable enough to attract a large sponsorship would also be too unwieldy for some to handle alone.
But I haven't given that much critical thought and I hate to default towards cynicism immediately after getting presented with a way to help get open source developers some financial support.
I agree, it would tend to encourage a smaller core team and a larger number of unpaid contributors. But this is often a workable model. I don't think most drive-by contributors expect to be paid and that seems... fine?
The author seems to have taken this desire into consideration too but I don't think he has figured out the way he wants to solve it.
I did find this: https://github.com/pim-book/exercises but it doesn't seem to have taken hold quite yet. Maybe if you and others are so inclined, a nice community effort can solve this issue together and maybe that interactive discussion helps mediate some of the other reasons people give for not providing the solutions up front.
I'm so impressed it can just be launched with the Clojure cli tools (not sure if I'm phrasing that correctly). Very cool project. I've recently admitted to myself I don't actually like modal editing (but love keeping my hands on the keyboard) so I'm happy with default emacs (caps-lock to control always!) but I hope this project gains some appreciation.
Clojure has been so fun to learn and I really like the community. The various projects and tools coming out seem to really jibe with my wanted approach to learning this whole software game.
Your comment reminded me of this quote even though it might not entirely fit the topic at hand:
"I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematicks and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, musick, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelaine.” John Adams, Letter to Abigail Adams, May 12, 1780.
As I said, it might not apply to this overall discussion but I've always found it quite poignant. Sadly society is more apt to ridicule those who still pursue liberal arts due to it's economic opportunity costs. While technically correct I believe that should come from the viewpoint that this could be considered a sad failure in humanity's progress.
Hard times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
Weak men create hard times.
Progress is something desirable only when you are in the bad part of that cycle. When you are in the good part of that cycle, progress takes you around to the bad part.
I dont think that poem describes real world and real history. Hard times often generated men who did not created good times, but create even worst way more violent oppressive times. Think world wars, French revolution, communists in Russia etc.
Hard times create hard people and that that can have very unfortunate consequences.
And good times did not necessary created men who create hard times, they often created men wanted to keep things good.
> And good times did not necessary created men who create hard times, they often created men wanted to keep things good.
But did they? Looking at the world today, I feel that good times create men who take good times for granted, not understanding what made those good times possible in the first place, and who through inaction or cluelessness work to undo those things. See e.g. our generation working hard to undo all the improvements for the workers, ones which our great-^n-grandparents paid in blood for.
Given that I don't know which generation and country you are from, it is hard to counteract. I don't know who or what causes your great-^n-grandparents were fighting for. I have no idea about link between past wars and whatever your generation is undoing.
If anything else it sounds a bit like caricature. Past generation fought against others of the past generation. Members of past generations have different interests and some have good life others bad. So maybe it is more about which sub-group of whatever generation is winning and able to effectively push for own interests.
For the sake of context, I would be an early millennial from Poland.
But my point is applicable to pretty much the entire western world; the struggle of our great-^n-grandparents is the one against insanely bad working conditions in the XIX and early XX century. The one that gave us modern employment laws, which both my fellow millennials and gen-X'ers are trying hard to revert.
This is backwards. It is a good economy that made those employment laws possible. The good times came first.
Overdoing those employment laws will strangle the economy, pushing us around the cycle to hard times. It is the "weak men" who push for this, trying to avoid even the modest amount of suffering that is required to be competitive.
Backing off on those laws will delay collapse.
You really don't want to see the collapse. At that point, employment laws count for nothing. You work illegally or you starve.
This isn't backwards, unless somehow not touching employment laws is strangling the economy. Nobody is trying to overdo those laws; they're mostly fine, but businesses these days increasingly try to skirt them and make such practices the new default.
I am not an expert on Polish history, but afaik, Polish became to have current employment laws not because employer/employee clashes (which happened more on west - GB and USA). Polish tended to emigrate.
The Polish history and current laws have a lot to do with legacy of Communism and how it came to be. Early XX century was more about moving toward war and then being in war and Russian threat.
ChromeOS has this feature for chromebooks now as well under the experimental flags section in case those users miss f.lux too. You can go to chrome://flags and search for Night Light to enable. As others have mentioned, I would rather use f.lux but (and my memory is hazy on this) I think the f.lux creator said the ChromeOS folks were not providing something he needed to get it working right.
Well they do have A mapped to Z and B mapped to X which makes sense I guess but is flip flopped positioning from what the original NES controller was if I recall correctly. You might have to fight your muscle memory on this one.
