FWIW, despite big-bang’s position as a teaching tool, I much prefer it over using the Windowing API directly, considering it provides a pure interface for working with real-time graphical applications. I like big-bang’s approach to that problem, and I’ve found myself using it many times due to its ease of use. In contrast, racket/gui is frustratingly imperative. > He may also be interested in Jay's variant of 'universe', > which is faster (and comes with sound) or Neil's (experimental) > 3D version.

(Either way, it would be nice to get the docs building properly on pkg-build, since currently the build fails.) Anyway, I think it would be nice to have something like 2htdp/universe that’s aimed at more experienced programmers. If lux is designed to be that, I’ll certainly take a look. Otherwise, would it be worth spending some time figuring out how to generalize and scale the ‘universe’ idiom to be a bit more powerful?
