While I have nothing against you personally, obviously because I don't know you, I'll be honest, reading this made me want to make a JS version using Electron and make an "isomorphic" curve generator library, just to get your reaction :)

This project looks like it uses piecewise circular arc curves, no? Those usually aren’t called splines, FWIW. I’m sure the terminology is not absolute, but splines are typically defined as piecewise polynomial curves.
