    Project mention: Brian Eno's Theory of Democracy | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-04

    reading about Eno's ideas on organization and variety makes me want to share some perspectives directly from my experience with music performance practice, specifically in live coding.

    For a long time, the common practice in live coding, which you might see on platforms like Flok.cc (https://flok.cc) supporting various interesting languages, has been like this: Everyone gets their own 'space' or editor. From there, they send messages to a central audio server to control their own sound synthesis.

    This is heavily influenced by architectures like SuperCollider's client-server model, where the server is seen as a neutral entity.

    Crucially, this relies a lot on social rules, not system guarantees. You could technically control someone else's track, or even mute everything. People generally restrain themselves.

    A downside is that one person's error can sometimes crash the entire server for everyone.

    Later, while developing my own live coding language, Glicol (https://glicol.org), I started exploring a different approach, beginning with a very naive version:
