The resulting system worked, but was a bit hard to use in-game and had a few issues, so I wouldn’t consider it a viable solution. The main issue with the old approach was the use of the cross collision response. It allowed the object to move through the slope as if it wasn’t… ## [Spring Lisp Game Jam 2026](https://andreyor.st/posts/2026-05-24-spring-lisp-game-jam-2026/) _2026-05-24 · Andrey Listopadov_ This year I decided to participate in the Spring Lisp Game Jam . It’s an annual event, where you have to make a game in any kind of lisp in a limited time, usually a week. I’ve been putting this away for several years, because every time the jam started I wasn’t ready to spend time on it, because of work or other duties I had at the time.

But now we’re finally going to talk… ## [in which more paths are charted towards code independence](https://technomancy.us/204) _2026-04-25 · Phil Hagelberg · Technomancy_ As the ninth anniversary approaches of the last project repository I created on Github , it's been so encouraging to see more and more projects migrate away from Microsoft Github.

Unless I get distracted again. Sike! While I did some work on the compiler, I’m not feeling ready to talk about it yet. I want the post about it to be, well, more in-depth, so for now, let’s go back to… ## [Clojure on Fennel part one: Persistent Data Structures](https://andreyor.st/posts/2026-04-07-clojure-on-fennel-part-one-persistent-data-structures/) _2026-04-06 · Andrey Listopadov_ part one: persistent data structures part two: immutable.fnl optimizations part three: parsing part four: parsing (again) Somewhere in 2019 I started a project that aimed to bring some of Clojure features to Lua runtime - fennel-cljlib . It was a library for Fennel that implemented a basic subset of clojure.core namespace functions and macros.

Work stuff January began with bad news - the product I worked on was about to be closed. We weren’t sure how things would go, and a lot of people started to worry about their job security. And rightfully so, a few months later, the decision was made to reduce staff, and our team was on the list. A lot of people got laid off, only a few remain to support the project… ## [MacOS Music Players](https://andreyor.st/posts/2025-12-10-macos-music-players/) _2025-12-10 · Andrey Listopadov_ A sequel to Linux Music Players .

But I had to switch to a Mac due to reasons related both to my work and my hobbies, so now I have to solve the same kind of problems, but in macOS. I like music. No, I love music. Maybe I’m not the biggest music listener in the world, and… ## [Persian-inspired cranberry pilaf](http://mcld.co.uk/blog/2025/persian-inspired-cranberry-pilaf.html) _2025-12-06 · mcld.co.uk blog_ Did you know that cranberries and rice are the 2 crops that can be grown on fully-saturated (i.e. damp) land? I learnt that this week from a colleague who studies how Dutch "polder" land can be farmed to absorb the most carbon. So I decided to try making a … ## [Live music of the year 2025](http://mcld.co.uk/blog/2025/live-music-of-the-year-2025.html) _2025-11-30 · mcld.co.uk blog_ I've seen some great music played at some ace festivals this year.

I’ve spent some time with it, and I gotta say - despite all that hot garbage that is thrown at GNOME for being an OSX clone, GNOME does the job better than I’ve expected, and certainly better than Apple. In some areas, that is. Good old days of Linux A bit of a backstory. I’ve been using GNUplusSlashLinux for more than fifteen years.

I don’t write much about it here, largely because I use Clojure at work and rarely for hobby projects, so I don’t have much to share. Even today, the post will be more about Clojure tooling, rather than Clojure itself.
