## What it is
Arcadia integrates the Clojure programming language with the Unity 3D game engine, letting developers script games in a live-coded, functional Lisp. It is beta-quality software with an active community but slow recent release cadence.

## Use cases
- script unity games in clojure
- live-code game logic with a repl
- build games with a functional lisp
- prototype game mechanics interactively
- use clojure for unity development

## When to choose
- you want to write Unity games in Clojure
- you value live, REPL-driven game development
- you prefer functional programming for game scripting

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, actively maintained toolchain
- you want C# or visual scripting in Unity
- you need guaranteed compatibility with the latest Unity versions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: interpreter, programming-language, game-engine
- domain: programming-languages
- platform: cross-platform, game-engine
- tags: clojure, unity, lisp, live-coding, repl, game-development
