Penrose: From mathematical notation to beautiful diagrams
- fire 5y agoThis looks slick, reminds me a lot of Basalt[1][2]. 1: (2019 thread) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21774018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21774018 2: (2021 thread) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29347715 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29347715

- aygehat 5y agoGreat!
- carreau 5y agoFrom 2020, and still not open...
- forgotpwd16 5y agohttps://github.com/penrose/penrose https://github.com/penrose/penrose ?
- carreau 5y agoAh, my bad, I think it should be higher and the google form should likely be removed. It's also not visible enough in https://penrose.ink/ https://penrose.ink/. I guess I've been conditioned by many website, where if I see a email field I think I have to signup to try...
- mhh__ 5y agoThe website does say it's still to be released or something to that effect.
- tablespoon 5y agoDoes anyone else think it's weird to name stuff like this after someone who isn't dead yet?
- unbanned 5y agoThat isn't a Venn diagram. It's an Euler diagram
- openfuture 5y agoWe usually name things after the first person that wasn't Euler that discovered the thing.
- aaaaaaaaaaab 5y agoUnfortunate naming. There’s already a notation for tensors called Penrose graphical notation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_graphical_notation https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_graphical_notation
- contravariant 5y agoAs well as Penrose diagrams, which are something entirely different. There's even a Penrose tiling, Penrose triangle and Penrose stairs. So yeah, not ideal for a graphics framework.
- openfuture 5y agoErr, that's the whole reason it is named this way. People will anyway need to specify what kind of penrose thing they want (stairs, triangle, tiling, graphics framework, ...)

- codethief 5y agoNot sure re-using an already established term, Penrose diagram[0], for something else entirely is a good idea if you want people to find your project through their search engine. [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_diagram https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penrose_diagram
- westoncb 5y agoA love the concept behind this project: a system that generates diagrams to represent arbitrary abstract mathematical ideas. At its core seems to be state of the art algorithms for finding nice specific layouts out of the more general constraints of the abstract relationships to be represented.

- amznbyebyebye 5y agoWow so you give it mathematical statements and it gives you a diagram? Is this what they call as “declarative” programming? I really like how it looks, and I can feel the passion behind the project. Very encouraging to see.
- trenchgun 5y agoThat's a really nice application of declarative programming indeed.
