I've been doing a lot of reading over the past week about 3d physics engines for #GameDev, and how to make them perform on modern multicore hardware; and I'm increasingly wondering why people are not trying pure #functional physics engines, which *should* parallelise much more cleanly. The only one I can find is this in #Haskell:
https://github.com/sebcrozet/falling3d
Does anyone have any other pointers? I'd be particularly interested in anything in #Lisp or #Clojure
