Love this: A new language called Spellscript.
Hello world:
begin the grimoire. inscribe whispers of "hello, world!". close the grimoire.Longer code example:
begin the grimoire. summon the power with essence of 7. conjure ritual named amplify with value to return value multiplied by value. enchant power with essence 0 of through ritual amplify with power. inscribe whispers of "the power is amplified: " bound with power. close the grimoire.On a quick scan, I’m guessing the above creates a variable named power and initializes it to 7. Then it declares a function called amplify that returns the square of whatever value is passed to it. (Looks like it might be pass by reference). Then it calls the function and prints the result.
I’d never use the language but I’d get a kick out of it if some nutter wrote an operating system in it, it took off and the kernel maintainers were referred to as the “conclave of wizards of the inner sanctum” or something.

Nerdery in the nerdery. Nerd inception, I love the idea.

I have no idea wtf she is doing in the below but is interesting to watch.
I only clicked the link because, besides for dropping E and dancing to it all night like it’s 1995, I find trance music is good for coding sessions and I couldn’t understand how what I read as “trance music for coding” could be narrated without ruining it. Turns out she’s actually programming trance music.

That syntax though. Kinda repetitive, most musicians use a timeline to compose. But still looks fun. Here’s the cli site.

The interactive tutorial they have is great. I guess it almost needs to be since it’s pretty cryptic on the face of it.

I felt I was going to be dismissive just looking at the link image, but I did find the creation process and the result fascinating.
At the end, when it faded and got quiet though, I felt a sense of relief.

@Jam Yeah I felt the same. As Gators said, it’s was repetitive. Irritatingly so.
Might be a limitation of the tool/language but she had at least one other song that sounded better and was more of regular song but still not my cup of tea. I mostly posted it for the process not the music.

Don’t get too excited. Sorry to tell you this, but you are an old man and don’t have the abs to ever be a great DJ.

Better!
I could do without the banging on the garbage cans though, especially with the loose lids. ;-)
A touch of poetry as well . . .
I can enjoy listening to this one.

On the upside, Gators may become obsessed with you

Same lady:
Still not my thing but better than the other one.
At least it’s not just repeating loops.
This is a synth channel, but you can kind of see how they compose stuff on the program where they record the individual tracks and then combine it later. Have not done this in years, but you could play/record or even just write the score in the program. Either way you are learning music theory to have something decent come out of the process.
Also if you are hell bent on programming, seems like there are bunch of Python libraries to do stuff.

It’s the green hair that gets me and Hog will never have that. Maybe a green head…that might work?

Some would say that our diets are similar.

It all tastes like chicken anyway.
The initial number of legs isn’t quite as relevant as it first sounds, really. -
