Sporth

I appreciate the shoutout to Sporth! Admittedly, I haven't used it for quite a few years. But it still works just fine. In addition to being a part of AudioKit, it also has it's own repository as a self-contained command line program: https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Sporth/ I used to use a live-coding setup with Sporth centered around Vim, though it has never been added to the codebase. If anyone is interested in this, please feel free to email me at thisispaulbatchelor at gmail dot com.

> This sounds really cool, but could use better docs. I agree. As the creator, it can be hard to write documentation for a beginner audience, so I'd be great to hear your input. What would you suggest? Right now, here is the documentation that exists now: Some intro tutorials can be found in the Sporth cookbook: http://paulbatchelor.github.io/proj/cook/ An interactive version can be found here: https://audiomasher.org/learn Once you understand the syntax fundamentals, most of the work is just remembering all the ugens and the argument order. For this, there's a reference guide: https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Sporth/blob/master/ugen_ref... There's a command line utility that comes with sporth called "ugen_lookup" that allows you to look up entries from here: https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Sporth/blob/master/util/uge...

Creator of Sporth here. AudioMasher is a really cool project! Projects like this make me really glad I open sourced Sporth. It's really cool to see what sorts of things people will use it for. In addition to learning the API and porting it to the web (with no assistance from me), Pierre has also composed some very beautiful patches in Sporth using his AudioMasher tool. It is always easier to leave things as a "technical demo", so I appreciate the extra effort. You kind learn more about Sporth here: https://pbat.ch/proj/sporth.html and the code can be downloaded here: https://www.github.com/paulbatchelor/sporth.git

I had stumbled upon John's work before. I am currently dabbling with a stack-based audio language called Sporth [1], and messing with the idea of somehow mashing it up with John's ike project. See, vector/array languages aren't just for FinTech or Time Series! [1] https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/Sporth

I was inquiring about benchmarks for RiakTS, but your link was perfect. I am a J/APL dabbler, and quite recently learning kdb+/q (I prefer k). As much as I step away from these languages, I always find my way back to them in strange ways. I was studying music, and there was a great J article in Vector magazine written in August 2006 [1] that walks through scales, and other musical concepts in J. A Forth-based music software called Sporth [2] has a kona ugen in it, so you can generate scales or other musical items in kona, and then use them in the stack-based Sporth audio language. My interests in kdb+/q, k, J and APL are in applying them to mathematical investigations of music, visuals, doing data analysis, and then just code golfing, or toying around. They're so much fun! I need more time on large streaming datasets (Time Series data), t

Not going to lie, this seems like a terrible language for musicians to compose in. Maybe I need time to get used to it, but it looks more like an esoteric programming language to me. The amount of brackets needed for it to work is just begging for typos. Furthermore, the syntax doesn't feel "readable" like a music score. The symbolic notation doesn't click for me. I'd like to be able to hear what is going on in my head, and this just doesn't seem designed for that. By contrast, Alda (a musical language posted yesterday) is very readable to me as a musician. ABC notation and Lilypond were very good sources of inspiration. There are some things I like about Skoar. The use of a really good audio engine to produce the sound wins in my book (there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to control the sound itself, though.) I think the way you expr
