    Falcon Player

    Happily! I will share what I use - please be aware there are lots of options in the space. Also, including my wife's advice from last year: Start small - one or two props can be make a great show and can be accomplished in a reasonable time frame.

    Xlights: Sequencing and Scheduling software. This is what tells your lights what to do. (https://xlights.org/)

    Falcon Pi Player (FPP): This software runs on your controller - A raspberry Pi or a Beaglebone are quite popular. This is what you run your sequences on. In my case, I drive my lights directly from my Pi. (https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp and https://falconchristmas.com)

    WebAssembly Design Documents

    I found this thread quite interesting on that topic:

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • grain

    The Grain compiler toolchain and CLI. Home of the modern web staple. 🌾

    As an OCaml fan, I’m pretty into what grain has been up to: https://grain-lang.org. Mem management ref: https://github.com/grain-lang/grain/pull/768/files

  • wasp

    🐝 Wasp : Wasm programming language (by pannous)

    I am currently experimenting with my own language wasp/angle:

    https://github.com/pannous/wasp/wiki/

    As you pointed out true GC is currently postponed, so no long running processes yet. The hope is to get the language finalized just in time when all wasm 2 features become standardized
