Glicol: the live coding language written in Rust now runs on Bela!

What is Glicol?

How does it run on Bela?

I can test it more. But to start a discussion, I'd like to hear your suggestion on how to further develop this combo?

Today after a discussion with one of my colleagues, I realise that Glicol shares a similar philosophy with Bela as all the nodes in Glicol are basically audio inputs/outputs (audio priority). Getting rid of non-audio logic makes Glicol quite easy to get started and these non-audio units can be compensated with mix JavaScript in browsers or meta node programming.

Interesting, did you make this?

BlackMountain yes

This is great! Haven't tried it on a Bela yet but I really enjoyed playing around with it in the browser. Interested in how you have been using with Bela so far – have you been live executing bits of code or pre building?

Current usage is to run it like a command line tool on Bela.

./glicol "o: saw ~mod; ~mod: ~adc3 >> mul 110 >> add 220"

Or use vi on Bela to make a xxx.glicol file and then run it:

./glicol -- xxx.glicol

I think live executing code is possible. I can test it in the coming month and try to make it integrated in the IDE.
