    The second one is being completed (as far as I understand) by a team in germany at a music machine museum (Musikkabinett). Their channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Musikkabinett

    As I wasn't in the know (though I can guess), I did some googling as to why and found this old thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24339298

    And also incredibly small. Turbo Pascal 2.0 had an IDE with compiler and debugger in a binary less than 60kb (if the info I found googling is true). Of course nowhere near the capa…

    Been working with it for the last year or so and the looks are alright but I just completely loathe the way tkinter is designed... it just feels so old.

    Not to defend Pulse too hard but I use Linux every day and am specifically interested in audio and outside low latency work (where I use jack), Pulse has rarely been a problem sinc…
