Hey, thanks for your comment! I'm a big fan of DIY "implementers" like yourself and am happy to hear some of these ideas resounded with you. I come from a similar background, and agree we need better tools for thinking and working with complex software systems. > I would consider adding to your system is physical units. Totally agree. This is high up there on my priority list. Kennedy (2006) did some early work on dimension and unit types that I was quite inspired by: http://typesatwork.imm.dtu.dk/material/TaW_Paper_TypesAtWork_Kennedy.pdf http://typesatwork.imm.dtu.dk/material/TaW_Paper_TypesAtWork... > I independently discovered that physics units (Ohms, inerita, etc.) can be described as a vector. Interesting! I guess that makes sense. Do you have any links describing this perspective a bit? I would be interested in reading about it. > I have been undertaking experiments in real-time compiling. Please contact me if you're looking or a co-conspirator! Sounds cool! One of the things I'm interested in is REPLs and interactive programming environments. Do you have anywhere I can read about this project in more detail? edit: I noticed you were interested in musical instruments and DSPs. One of my colleagues, Maxime, is also working on synthesizers and music production, which I thought you might be interested in reading about: https://pointersgonewild.com/2019/10/06/zupiter-a-web-based-modular-synthesizer/ https://pointersgonewild.com/2019/10/06/zupiter-a-web-based-...

> physics units (Ohms, inerita, etc.) can be described as a vector. It really resembles that Kennedy quite a bit. The big diff is the Kennedy one focus on using human-readable descriptions in code, albeit with heavy syntax, whereas my version is more normalized and suitable for machine implementation, e.g. FPGA/ASIC. I made a brief video for you explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REZcTVS4TCk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REZcTVS4TCk One thing I realized while making it is that it's a great way to increase your intuition of what the units mean in physics!
