fatcoach VS processing

ANTLR opinionated query lang (this stuff is actually translating into SQL queries using jooq): Fatcoach

In the spirit of DDD I believe we should ditch custom designed events and use generic Change Data Capture (CDC) events like Create/Update/Delete for domain changes. I would like to refer to an experimental project with some ideas on this direction, although it was not designed for this purpose, but you get the picture. Also Master/Detail design matches the idea of aggregates.

FatCoach is an experimental project for a Back-End as a Service (BaaS) framework (using the Kotlin language) which abstracts the underlying SQL database from Front-End developers. Sharing a similar purpose to GraphQL (on a client perspective); however, with a different philosophy and architecture.

I also build a POC here, mapping to SQL via jOOQ. But I believe a graph engine would be better suited. I need to look into your links.

I have a personal project here that defines a query language created with Antlr and Kotlin. Now, is it possible to create something very similar using Scala 3 metaprogramming with compile-time checks?

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 indy generative art tools like https://processing.org and Strudel (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39924210).

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.

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)

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 the only creative coding framework that had complete, offline documentation like that at the time I might add. OpenFrameworks is still mostly autogenerated stubs for example.

IMO it was one of the things that gave Processing an edge in educational contexts over all alternatives. I was pretty sad to see p5.js not fully continue that tradition and require that you go online to read the docs, and that it's not a static website but that text is rendered with javascript when you open it (still complete and with examples though).

Processing is very cool, especially if you like graphics.

Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology. There are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning and prototyping.

And it's not even their IDE. They just slapped some AVR compilers into Processing
