@dthompson So Lux is really cool! It's basically "big-bang for grownups" (where big-bang is Racket's builtin game engine for middle schoolers).

The answer to "does it use opengl" is "yes, optionally" but not in the way most game engines say that. The core of the functional game engine actually doesn't specify the input/output system, which is provided by a "chaos". One chaos comes bundled which uses Racket's canvas drawing and GUI input events, but you can plug in others

(cotd ...)

"She noticed that her Android phone prompted her to rate a shopping trip to Kohl's, even though she had turned Location History off."

Yeah, I've gotten that myself. According to AP, Google still tracks your location, even if you've turned that setting off.

When to use a macro in #clojure https://lispcast.com/when-to-use-a-macro/

You probably radically underestimate:

- How much you know that other people don't.

- How valuable it is for you to publish it.
