> Midi being an “artist” tool places it more as a medium like paint. I’ve used MIDI “as paint”. Written music using code to MIDI(1), and wrote “cross instrument” music, ie using my keyboard as drum machine. But these days MIDI is chiefly an archival method for me. Every time I touch my keyboard is recorded, is much smaller than a comparable audio recording, by design “forced fidelity” in the recording, and I am... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago
You might want to look at Overtone, which is a clojure environment built on top of overtone, and which integrates with processing and a few other similar things. https://overtone.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
> I'm fluent in Python but find the use of colons is the real sticking point. The you'd probably have hated its predecessor which was all about the parentheses: https://overtone.github.io/ It's too bad that superficial stuff like which characters you need to type is holding you back. Getting used to Ruby when you're familiar with Python is no big deal. I would just stick with it. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
There's a project you may find interesting: https://overtone.github.io/. Besides sound/synthesis stuff, it has https://github.com/overtone/midi-clj library, which allows you to write MIDI as lisp (Clojure, to be precise) code. Emacs has great support for Clojure programming (via Cider), and REPL-based development is perfect for writing music. Source: over 1 year ago

Reply I disagree. There are so many creative tools that are now online that you can access from your browser that were not envisioned in the original web. It is obviously true that not EVERY website is about creation (but to expect that seems unreasonable?), but even Wikipedia is a collaborative project. Examples include products from big vendors like Adobe's Photoshop, to smaller products like SketchUp, to more... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
Would processing[0] be a good fit? It's designed to be easy to use and learn but powerful enough for professional use. Very quick to get cool stuff moving on a screen and the syntax is Java with a streamlined editing environment. [0] https://processing.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
Processing? https://processing.org/ Or do you specifically mean mathematical diagrams and a DSL specifically for that? - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
I would personally use the language Processing. It's the one I use the most. And it's relatively easy to start drawing text, squares, and do other kinds of things. (It's kind of like java, but without all the boilerplate code). Source: 5 months ago
Processing (P5) had this: you can select any string of text in its IDE anl search for it in the docs, and if it's one of the built-in functions or constants it will open the associated static html page that came installed with the software, so no internet nor server required. And despite being offline you can still navigate the docs too. This feels a lost basic skill in static site generation these days. It was... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
