Thi.ng – open-source building blocks for computational design and art

That's an interesting take at ECS, seems to do lots of optimizations under the hood too.

I'm surprised to not have heard of those libraries until now.

This has been around for a long time and I've always been so surprised it has had seemingly so little traction outside of the author's own projects. The love and care and thoughtfulness of every library has always been so great to explore.

Main monorepo: https://codeberg.org/thi.ng/umbrella

Looks like a collection of many useful general-purpose dependency-free modules written in TypeScript.

I see very nasty GPU bugs on this page. never witnessed it before. My laptop is macbook m3.

I managed to record them https://youtu.be/9EpfeUbkPT8

When the five cubes a bit down on the page spin diagonally, my whole browser window including address bar and tab bar starts glitching. Chrome on macOS.

thi-ng/geom is my favorite Clojure project.

I believe the new libs are now all in TS and not Clojure anymore.

Does that mean TS is better suited for computational art?

Or are there other reasons why this lib was moved to TS?

Is there a particular motivation for chosing Clojure?

Coooooooool
