re kandria: not sure if this makes sense for the topic/context but... some kind of overview of the challenges & benefits of choosing to make your game in CL rather than a more "conventional" language, I guess? On one hand, you've had to implement a lot of missing things (Depot, Alloy, Harmony...) but I'm sure there's some upsides to the adventure (beyond the general CL advantages), right? :)

Given that I haven't written Kandria in another language, it's kinda hard to compare.

I want to bring up lichat as an example of a lisp system being successfully "ported" to multiple other languages, but afaik there isn't much lisp *left* in there :(

shinmera: I think the bar for demo papers is much lower (in terms of academics, at least).

My typical write time for ELS papers is 1-2 days for full first draft, including research for citations.

In any case, I'm aware of the low bar, I just still don't know what to write about
