You can only use Python in OpeneAI Gym if I'm not mistaken.

They have a RESTful API for local Gym servers so you can connect from any language - https://github.com/openai/gym-http-api

I've not used it yet but I hope to soon!

Indeed. They say other languages are coming soon.

I wonder how much code one needs to port to be able to use another language?

Not so much but it's an old architecture that dates back before docker/container techs came around, so it's kind of a pain. We're looking into a better architecture that would allow us to add any language in a couple hours

You're the third person to ask for this on this HN post :) I'll just copy-paste my answer now

We have a lot on our plates right now so adding new languages isn't the main priority, however we add languages based on the number of upvotes on suggestions in our dedicated forum thread

Do not hesitate to go there and vote/ask for Common Lisp

Also, it seems the link copied wrong; here's the correct one, if anyone else wants to vote Common Lisp (please do!) :).

My question was aimed at OpenAI Gym (which seems to be using Docker), but since you seeem to be involved with CodinGame, I kindly ask you to please add support for Common Lisp ;).
