BespokeSynth VS cosmopolitan

https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth

BespokeSynth takes the concept of a modular synthesizer and expands it so that the application is less just a synth and more a complete modular DAW. I've used it to create MIDI/audio workflows that I couldn't get exactly the way I wanted in Ableton or FL Studio. It also has a module for doing audio processing livecoded in Python that I'm just starting to scratch the surface of.

Then I realized bespoke sync is also written in C (https://github.com/BespokeSynth/BespokeSynth) , and I learned about the ninja build system (which is what ysfx uses to compile JSFX).

Today I'm looking at a couple open source projects that are dear to my heart: OpenParliament API and BespokeSynth. If you've followed my work last term for OSD600 you've seen me write about my work on Bespoke already, which is a modular software synth. OpenParliament, on the other hand, is a great site with easy to consume information about Canadian government, the API for which I'm taking a look at today. This is part of my work for SPO600, or Software Portability and Optimization, so expect more on that soon! For now let's dive into these repos and how contributing to them works.

In the final installment of my efforts to bring midi import and export to BespokeSynth (part 1 and part 2 here) I'm working my way through the details of handling midi in Juce, with the added layer of having some Juce functionalities handled by Bespoke.

In last week's post I discussed my plans to implement midi import and export in BespokeSynth, a modular synth making app that's built on JUCE, an open source framework for developing VST plugins. So far I've been chipping away on a few fronts: making a demo app to try implementing midi import and export separately from Bespoke, looking at examples of components from other apps that do what I want to, and looking at how Bespoke already uses some components I'll need to implement it.

For my release 0.4 I'm going to be working on BespokeSynth which is a neat program my prof showed me earlier in the semester.

The reality is a bit different, the work on Python 3.6 was checked into the Cosmopolitan repo and I have been able to use it for production workloads that are in pure python. [0]

As Cosmopolitan Libc has evolved, it has been possible to compile more software without modifications, and that includes latest Python through a project called superconfigure[1].

Last person who tried to reproduce it from scratch did it last week (granted it too them a few days of solid work) but in the end they ended with a portable binary with Python 3.11.9, brotli, ssl and asyncio for their work related project.[2]

Some genius realized that you can actually embed valid win32 programs inside valid posix shell scripts, and found a way to make a C cross-platform solution out of it, meaning that you can write C programs that compile to a single executable that will run on (quoting the site) Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS

It all started from this post.

For this .args file, put one argument per line. This will run on start. You can use `/zip/mydepencency.anything` to read from files, but if you have an executable dependency you'll need to extract it first.

You can do this with any software you can compile with comsocc, by adding a call to LoadZipArgs[1] in the main function.

It'seasy to get started, your ideas will branch out as soon as you start playing with it.

FWIW there is ongoing work with good progress to add websocket support to redbean (https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/pull/967)

it might help but not sure how comprehensive it is! would it be a bad idea for you to check out the source code of other popular emulators (maybe iTerm 2^0) ?

The binary was compiled with Cosmopolitan Libc [0], and therefore the binary will execute natively on Linux, Mac, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and bare metal (BIOS boot).

I would call that portable.

will go on my "to try" list where i already have cosmopolitan [2]. my last setup (windows) was shiv + wine + nsis (used that as pyinstaller had some issues)[2]
