Lucy was Replaced: running real Gleam inside a Python game

About the talk

The Farmer Was Replaced is a programming game: you automate a farm by writing Python in the game's built-in editor, and the game runs it. Lucy was Replaced is a mod that throws the Python out and lets you write the same farm in Gleam instead.

Gleam is a small, statically typed, functional language so making it work is more than a syntax swap. Gleam requires a filesystem project, it has to be compiled and then we need to somehow run that code inside of a Unity game.
