   While I would claim that Lobster is a general purpose programming language, it is strongly biased toward game programming and related fields. With a different set of built-in functions I am sure it would make a kick-ass server language, but I don't feel it is important to serve every niche.

   I agree, for that level of integration you want a "gameplay scripting system", whereas Lobster is more of a general purpose programming language that happens to be a nice starting point for simple games & engines.

   Unlike other game making systems that focus on an engine/editor that happens to be able to call out to a scripting language, Lobster is a general purpose stand-alone programming language that comes with a built-in library suitable for making games and other graphical things.

   Lobster is a language that relies heavily on type inference and generic types, and generally not requiring you to specify types, the order in which things get type-checked sometimes matters. Lobster type-checks function calls in call order, but type declaration in the order in which they are specified in the source code, or imported.

   Is lobster a good language?

   • (I wrote the FlatBuffers Wikipedia page, for example.) Lobster is pretty inspiring (despite not being nearly as radical as, e.g., Aardappel) with its lightweight lambdas and (like most of your work) a very minimal core language. Is there a comparison of different versions of Lobster somewhere?

   Is lobster a more pragmatic language than other languages?

   • Yes, Lobster is meant to be a much more pragmatic language, for people like myself to actually get the job of making a game done :) Other languages of mine are much more research-y. Though I will say I think the type system and lifetime analysis are pretty novel actually.
