Gwion VS insect

Gwion ( https://github.com/Gwion/gwion ) is a programming language that I intended to use in my musical work. It has grown past the hobby music lang, and now has users, a company using it, is semantically much more evolved than it's predecessor (ccrma's chuck) and also more performant. Would be happy to talk more about it

named mine Gwion https://github.com/Gwion/gwion

my lang has custom operators. only binary ops can be wild tho. https://github.com/Gwion/Gwion

I have a nice project badly needing documentation. But tbh there's no way you can get paid for that atm. Still it's a nice way to show off your skills. https://github.com/Gwion/Gwion

Didn't know about that. What did you use to create this? Could be of use to test my language, Gwion.

A musical programming language ;-)

In the end, I think and hope it'll help this project grow, become more and more usable and build its community.

Apparently this replaces https://github.com/sharkdp/insect

You might like https://insect.sh/ ;)

For the record I use insect.

https://github.com/sharkdp/insect seems to be somewhat similar, but it's mostly for physical units. However, it's the only opensource one that is embeddable.

Insect: https://github.com/sharkdp/insect

It is a bit slow but has decent features, including some physical units support.

I set up Tilda (or another Guake equivalent; I tried a bunch of them and can’t remember on which I settled in the end) to run it automatically when a terminal is opened, when pressing Scroll Lock. It’s quite neat: when I need to do a quick calculation, I just hit Scroll Lock, which spawns a drop down terminal with the focus; then type whatever I want to calculate; then control-D to dismiss the drop down terminal and I am back in whatever I was doing without moving either hand off the keyboard.

I do more or less the same thing on my Mac with Alfred.

I'm in the same boat and will pay for Kagi, though I have a different interaction with a search engine and thought you might like the counterpoint. Notably, I don't use Google for most of what you described:

Translation: I use DeepL instead (google is doing poorly on Asian languages)

Conversion: not having much need for imperial but I use this for all unit conversion (though usually directly in my terminal): https://insect.sh/

Wikipedia: if I type Wikipedia+something my browser automatically use the wiki engine (chrome can do that too)

Word definition: on OSX I long press on the trackpad and the definition pops up (across languages, translation too for single words)

Lyrics: Spotify show them now! (admittedly that's a recent feature)

insect.sh goes up to about 109 × 1015.
