Let me state that, as long as it is a asteroids clone, it is fine. However, compared to Java, the performance was much worse(when just playing with it and drawing tons of asteroids in opengl). Also, I do not know what you mean when you say that you have tested it... the
pure way or the mutate objects in place way? I can get great performance with clojure, no doubt about it, by violating the shat out of functional programming. I can not get great performance with the beautiful, pure, composable, clojure that I desire! I have seen many game examples in "clojure" where, basically, clojure is just a scripting language that wraps java. It is no problem if this is the case, my question has jack crap to do about getting good performance writing asteroids. My question is: Will clojure(the immutable composable side) benefit from shenandoah(blasted font) at all? Can someone who knows a good bit about clojure tell me if a more powerful garbage collector would allow us clojurians to be more pure or is it something else inherently in immutable land that will "never"(it will take a long time) get fixed.
