Dear list,
In the company where I work [1] we have an opening for a thesis
project involving clojure, I’m posting the abstract proposal on this
list since some reader might be interested.
Here’s some information about the thesis
Games configurations are structured collections of connected data
This might interest you, it's not Clojure, but Lisp. Do you know the
online game Vendetta? They have used Lisp extensively for non-player
character behavior, and have a REPL integrated into the game.

Vendetta Online has a Lisp environment (using SBCL) which controls
Erlang's actor model seems like a perfect fit to MMORPG development --
maybe even more so than Lisp.
On the other hand, Lisp letting you update things on the fly is also
of obvious value to an MMORPG, which tends to involve adding and
tweaking stuff from time to time but you really don't want to
On the other hand, Lisp letting you update things on the fly is also
of obvious value to an MMORPG, which tends to involve adding and
tweaking stuff from time to time but you really don't want to take the
game servers down, ever, if you can avoid it.
That's also a major feature of Erlang.
I haven't written such code myself, but one motivation for creating Erlang was
software for telecommunications systems, where they have very high uptime
requirements and needed the ability to update code on a running system. It can
replace definitions of functions in place as well as any Lisp.

Have you looked at Akka http://akka.io/ at all?

Looks like it's a Java library. Using it apparently involves a fair
amount of subclassing, so we'd probably want to write at least a
partial clojure wrapper instead of users having to write proxy this,
Perhaps SXML could help the writer a bit
