This looks rather nice and in some ways resembles Nial ( https://github.com/danlm/QNial7 ) in that its a array language that is more accessible to programmers not familiar with APL/K/Q etc However the gist is

Yup it is not a cheap area of microscopy - commercial SPIM systems typically range from $250K to around $1 million (though there are some significantly cheaper than this) and you can build them for significantly less. I think the hope with

Having built a prototype SPIM microsocope, based on the original OpenSPIM ( https://openspim.org/ ) project, this looks a fantastic project and nicely designed piece of kit. Its especially great that the team are actively bui

Firstly, congrats on an interesting project with clearly a lot of thought and time investment. At end of article you request feedback on should you open source - in that respect: There is clearly some interest in this area e.g. DS-PITON pro

Active Oberon is a small but powerful language with a lot of good ideas within the language. One of the interesting additions over plain Oberon is the concept and support for active cells. Active Cells provide an abstract mechanism to defin

Having played around with XL, Tao3D and Elfe, I have to say there was/is a lot of fun to be had and some very compelling concepts and unique ideas in these projects. Its great to see them mentioned on HN. I found the parse tree approa

strongly recommend folks interested in data viz investigate Vegas further and especially VEGAS, VEGAS-LITE and the related projects such as Voyager, LYRA and CompassQL. As noted below/above great to see it used in SandDance

That used to be the dominant theory - there is now evidence that new cells continue to grow - just the replacement rate slows down as we age. However we still do not really understand the mechanisms of neurogenesis (growth of new brain cell

Riot games tech blog is an awesome read. The fps (as in frames per second) performance monitoring on league of legends post recently was a great example of why its worth a read.

re: embedded - I thought as much - I think it likely just needs some use cases and marketing to drive adoptions. Regarding Open source / sponsorship / support: - Andrew I will follow up directly via email over weekend.

Definitely of interest. Also of interest would be using Sciter for embedded (but not mobile) apps. Its a natural fit for certain markets. Are you still considering open sourcing Sciter? I personally hope so - but also know how much is invo

Given advantages over electron etc - perhaps open sourcing it with a foundation model and commercial services for those wanting support. In many respects I can see Sciter being used by corporations in a similar wayt o sqlite - e.g. if it wa
