This is common among programmers. They come up with some insane, convoluted set of rules that they happen to like and then declare it simple and elegant. To anyone on the outside it looks schizophrenic in nature.

Of course it has a component system. I just hope no one sees this mess and thinks that if THIS is considered simple, videogame development isn't for them.

Maybe it is simple. I won't truly believe it until they battle test it with a decently involved game.

And I'm not even talking some fancy 3d title. How much would I fight against the framework if I wanted to try and recreate Thomas was Alone or Baba is You? Seemingly simple games but ones with very involved systems and state management.If it can truly handle all those edge cases and saves me times after rampup, I can concede it as simple.

It looks simple and elegant to me, and I've only used Clojure a little before. Perhaps you're just not very experienced as a programmer in anything except mainstream languages.
