I'm obsessed with tooling and Clojure (especially Babashka), and I love making games with Godot. I'm trying to create a set of tools to for faster rapid-prototyping in Godot (for game jams). I'm also constantly working on WM-level dev tooling, on both Linux and OSX. Check out my streams on ​twitch to see the workflows I've built up!

Lately, I'm bouncing between a few things:

  • Game Jams on itch.io
  • Contributing to Clojure/Babashka open-source tooling
  • Building up Clawe to a point where other folks can easily consume it's features
  • Building up org-blog to make it easier to share all this with you!

All my games and tools are open-source! Check them out on github or play them on itch.io:

  • ​russmatney.itch.io - Some scrappy games I've submitted to game jams
  • ​Clawe - a tool for managing your window manager, supported by a clojure repl
  • ​Dino - a set of tools for working with godot games, organized as a monorepo full of example games
  • ​org-crud and ​org-blog - Clojure tools for working with and publishing emacs org files

I sponsor a few folks on github that have made a huge difference for me - be sure to check them out:

  • borkdude - creator of babashka, which lets us use clojure basically everywhere
  • hlissner - creator of doom emacs, which gives users best-in-class tooling for every language out of the box
  • ​pez - creator of clava, the key to clojure's future in vscode (I don't use vscode, but with calva it's at least a chance for people to see what interactive programming is like)
  • bbatsov - maintainer behind much of clojure's emacs tooling
  • thheller - maintainer behind shadowcljs, which provides clojurescript integration into the browser, node, and the entire js ecosystem
  • jethrokuan - maintainer of org-roam, and therefore my whole second brain

welcome notes

Thank you so much for your patronage!

It's a huge motivation to me to have your support - I'll have some progress to share soon!

Feel free to ping me wherever if you're interested in more detail about what I'm up to!

Hi! My name is Russ!

I make open-source games in Godot, and I build dev tools in Clojure.
