datastation VS glicol

There was a technique that existed already where you could use `go test -cover` and the `-o` flag to produce a binary from `go test` rather than actually running tests. So you could build a binary that had coverage enabled. Then when you ran

Here's an example: https://github.com/multiprocessio/datastation/blob/main/runn....

I can't remember where I found this technique but it's been around for a while.

This new option is the same thing but a way to `go build` with `-cover` instead of `go test -cover -o $out`? Do I have that right?

If my employer doesn't consider paying for dbt cloud, I will use u/eatonphil 's datastation, run the queries on a dev database then put them in dbt.

I build a somewhat similar app, DataStation [0], that is in JavaScript and Go. It supports scripting in Python, Julia, R, JavaScript, Ruby, etc.

The server version of it exists and I run it myself but that process is not documented yet. (Most people use it as a desktop app today.)

My biggest issue with Pyodide is the long wait times. I haven't figured out a way around a ~5 second load time where the entire UI hangs every single time you load the page.

My app (similar to Simon's, a lite mode of a data IDE): https://app.datastation.multiprocess.io.

My code: https://github.com/multiprocessio/datastation/blob/main/shar....

I use Go heavily cross-platform developing DataStation [0] and dsq [1]. I am not an expert. And I don't have proof for it but on some rudimentary benchmarks the Linux-specific file idioms in the Go standard library definitely don't seem to translate well to even macOS let alone Windows. For example some good streaming techniques for reading large files on Linux that work really well there seemed to be pretty bad on macOS.

I think Amos has presented more proof than I can on the topic of just how Linux-influenced Go is. And I think it is fine for the majority of Go users because the majority users of Go are building server apps or Linux CLIs.

Amos has spent some time building cross-platform desktop systems with Go for itch.io and I think I'm seeing some of the same things they are in that scenario.

I think this is a reasonable article. If Amos gets flame-y at any point I think it's worth ignoring because there does seem to be something up with Go in cross-platform applications.

I like Go a lot and for most things I'd keep using it still. Just sharing some observations.

I keep a page of good first projects for two big projects I work on. The only expectation is that you know Go. I've had a couple of people who've never contributed to OSS come in and get some meaningful features merged.

I've got some good first projects if you're interested in OSS data tools and have some Go experience.

Check out: https://github.com/multiprocessio/datastation/blob/main/GOOD...

Some example projects: DataStation (desktop GUI for querying every kind of database, scripting and graphing the results) and dsq (a CLI companion for running SQL queries on many kinds of files), and go-json (a library for fast JSON encoding of arrays of large objects).

I'm building a desktop-first (SaaS-eventual) data IDE for developers [0]. Making a living? Not yet.

It being desktop-first makes it as easy to try out in a corporate environment as Sublime. The data never leaves your machine. Desktop-first is a big deal in devtools for this reason.

Nice! Great project website styling and demo.

I had a WebGPU scope demo using vanila JS here, but it's not connected to AudioContext at all.

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-cuc9vs

Still, I had to use the old WebGL solution for https://glicol.org since the WebGPU support seems to be pretty slow at the moment.

Suno is great and I already shared its potential back in v2. I have always believed that the essence of digital music is "organized numbers". I think what needs to be thought about is how to use AI in this process. If you look at the results (numbers) generated, then we are indeed very close. But there is another future I believe: I hope AI can compose music with me, like copilot. This is why I keep working on

https://glicol.org/

Also want to hear your feedback.

Interesting!

Similar note-based expression can be found on TidalCycles/Strudel. although it's not valid MIDI format anymore, you can use notation like c4, f3, and make them as "pattern". Samples are also supported in the same manner:

https://strudel.cc/

And in my project Glicol, I use only numbers in the seq node. So 60 means middle C. Underscore means rest.

https://glicol.org/

I also applied with Glicol (https://glicol.org/) and got rejected, which is totally understandable. I am basically working this project on my own with almost zero extra funding.

I am currently working on a new website. The old stack is Vite, Svelte and Windi CSS (discontinued unfortunately). So this time maybe Astro + Solid + Tailwind.

And I am also trying to rewrite the whole Rust backend if possible, so there is quite some work to be done.

Let me know on GH or Discord if you are interested.

It's a good chance to try Rust, WASM, DSP, etc.

This is a really informative and inspiring article.

It hasn’t been 6 months (not 6 years) since I quit my full-time job as a Rust developer to start my own business.

As time goes by, I can feel the pressure of mortgage and car loans, and I can also feel the care and pressure of my family.

My original plan was to make an interface for Glicol (https://glicol.org), and to develop relevant hardware with firmware written in rust for school education.

I sent some cold emails to VCs, but most of them got no reply.

I also sent an email to the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, offering to perform for children for free, but they didn’t reply for two months. I shamelessly sent it again, and someone finally replied with a rejection.

Only one VC talked to me and thought that I should convince and validate a partner first, and he suggested that I go to an incubator.

Very good advice.

Later I learned that even Norwegian education startups skipped Norway and focused directly on the US market.

People from the incubator also told me that it is impossible for Norwegian schools to accept new things independently.

This is very enlightening to me because most of Glicol's visitors are indeed from the US. And it took me so long to discover this fact.

But if I don’t start, I’ll never get past those six months.

I picked up LOGO when I was 6 and leant Pascal and C later.

I didn't program for a few years because I wasn't interested in competitions. So I think interest is the most important, otherwise it will be easy to get lost and give up.

Later, I became very interested in programming, mainly because I came into contact with music technology.

I think since your child is interested in game development, it is a good choice to start step by step. For example, starting with threejs. I also recommend learning Rust and Bevy so you learn the underlying layers and ECS.

Last but not least, although it's not related to games dev but I sincerely invite you and your son to try Glicol (https://glicol.org), the project that I am developing.

I quite my job as well to work on

https://glicol.org

I have a lot of feelings, but I don't have a blog so far. But one of my feelings is that universities should alloc some of their funding to many of these open source projects and open source community should be better managed rather than donation. My plan is to start my own company and work on hardware .

Looks great!

I am working on some similar concepts but for music programming:

https://glicol.org

I feel that it would be great if there could be some examples on the landing page directly.

When I try a lesson, I get stuck; The hint is on the right but it's not very obvious; perhaps you can rearrange it like Svelte Tutorial (https://learn.svelte.dev/tutorial/welcome-to-svelte)

for the syntax I am not sure; have you considered using LOGO?
