🗨️ Mariano Guerra: 🎥 Visual WebAssembly Demo: A Structure Editor for Wasm Modules
Demo of a prototype I'm working on to play with structure editors and ways to make WebAssembly easier to understand.

🗨️ Mariano Guerra: 📝 A WebAssembly interpreter (Part 1)
We build up a simple interpreter from scratch, in JavaScript, for a small subset of Wasm instructions (arithmetic and comparison).
Implementing a Wasm Interpreter to explore its design and semantics

hi everyone i recorded a podcast episode with Dave Ackley where we talk about robust first computing and jamming

🗨️ Charlie Roberts: 📝 teeny
on a related note to what Mariano Guerra posted, here’s a little editor library I made using css highlights https://codeberg.org/charlieroberts/teeny
simple demo: https://charlieroberts.codeberg.page/teeny/demos/js/
demo in a wasm audio playground: https://gibber.cc/genish/playground/

🗨️ Ben: 🎼 Thuja: Algorithmic composition with Csound
I've been iterating on docs and implementing a realtime / livecoding interface in my algorithmic composition library Thuja. I can actually do a live session now 🙂 but as I practice with the interface I find ways to improve it, so it's still in major flux.
I'm searching for the right tone in the docs - the readme seems simplistic (musically) to me - next step for me is to walk through some of my pieces cookbook-style, laying out more elaborate use cases.
Thinking Together

Cooking recipes are like little algorithms. One of my friends made a UI mockup for a visual recipe design tool. It was done for a game, but maybe something like this could be used for regular algorithms. Sharing for inspiration.

🗨️ guitarvydas: 📝 Show Don’t Tell
Can we extend the definition of structures, like @dataclass in Python, to include links to .png (and .svg?) files? Then, use IntelliSense to show the picture? Something like this

AI
🗨️ Tom Larkworthy
Oh OpenAI finally offered constrained generation e.g. supply the regex the output should match (something llama.cpp had). I get much better results for coding LLM if the output is XML, so now I can have a custom too output valid XML trivially.
