Hi there,
I have started playing with design ideas about porting part of SuperCollider’s pattern library to Scala. For those not familiar with it, it is a sort of stream/iterator processing, but in a dynamically typed language, allowing you to do wild things and mix different types. So I’m still undecided whether I’m going to introduce a bit of static type constraints or not. Take for example this pattern:
x = Pseq([[3.0, 4.0], 5.0], 3) + 5
x.asStream.all // [ [ 8, 9 ], 10, [ 8, 9 ], 10, [ 8, 9 ], 10 ]
which would be allowed in SuperCollider.
I’m looking at a meaningful subset of these operations. Here is an attempt to model the pattern elements (Elem
) with types:
Any feedback would be appreciated.
best, .h.h.
