score VS BespokeSynth

QRhi is pretty much the exact same goal than pygfx with a different implementation: https://github.com/qt/qtbase/tree/dev/src/gui/rhi

I've been using it for 4-ish years now in https://ossia.io

Pros:

IDK, I mostly use KDE apps and none of those are electron. The only web-browser thing I have open right now is firefox, everything else is pretty lean Qt apps: strawberry (RES 77 megabytes), dolphin (RES 61 megabytes), konsole (RES between 30 and 60-megabytes depending on my instance) the app I'm developing https://ossia.io (lean enough to run on a raspberry pi zero 2).

Meanwhile, I have a dozen firefox processes each above 500M RES and a few above 1G...

I added LLVM JIT support to ossia a few years ago, it's not too bad, but a big issue is that the JIT does not support all the necessary features used by the frontend in terms of relocations, etc. So it happens relatively often that C++ code will compile to LLVM IR without issue, but then fail at the JIT step because some relocation is not supported by the JIT engine yet.

Most of the code is here : https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score... with the actual LLVM API interoperation contained there : https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score...

I'm curious, could you try this one and tell me if it starts ? so far it works in all the mainstream distros I could try but if there's someone out there who cannot open it with an OS less than a decade old, I want to make sure I can fix that : https://github.com/ossia/score/releases/download/v3.2.0/ossi...

That's really not true. Qt as of Qt 6 still supports using native X11 drawing commands and that covers a lot of apps. Tkinter too (and many technical apps which are exactly the ones likely to be used over the wire).

Just last week I was debugging remotely an art installation which uses my software, https://ossia.io and was running on a Pi 5, I compared X11 and VNC and X11 was really much more useable even over the internet.

https://ossia.io uses widgets and qgraphicsscene for the main UI rendering and Qt rhi for the GPU pipeline, and it's performing well enough for our use-cases - I was working on it on a 1080p screen on a Pi4 recently and it certainly felt much much faster and responsive than chrome on the same hardware.

I use it for live c++ recompilation in https://ossia.io - all the code is in there. https://github.com/ossia/score/tree/master/src/plugins/score-plugin-jit/JitCpp

> I feel like visual programming gets a bad rap because of things like this. As an electronic engineer that used to love LabView and life long user of NI Reaktor and Max/MSP, those tools are fantastic if you don’t approach them with an imperative programming mindset.

aha, in the long run I ended up making https://ossia.io which is as VPL as it can get. Yet it still embeds a LOT of textual languages.

This is the first time I hear about this synth, and it looks very good. No idea what https://github.com/awwbees/BespokeSynth contains, but that is FOSS.

Not sure how to get it running on Arch Linux either. Opened an issue for this: https://github.com/awwbees/BespokeSynth/issues/108
