How long before a nodejs based on chakraCore ?
Already exists: https://github.com/Microsoft/node
How long till the 2nd one exist?

Re: Show HN: Particle Simulation with OpenGL compute shader – 8M particles
#12a video would be cool. nobody is going to bother to get the code and build it, especially in the state its in. i'm not really sure what this proves beyond the power of the hardware. there are no clever tricks here that i can see beyond 'keeping it simple' but even then... its not so simple as it could be either.
Yes, you are right, it is more like a proof of concept for myself. And as it seems, there are people (similar thread on Reddit), for whom it might help.
Just wanted to share, as there were not too many working projects out there with compute shaders. And it would have helped me :)

#13What are some cool snippets of code in this repo? I realize A) that's a loaded question and B) it's all very cool. Just curious if any readers have come across any "Whoa that's cool" parts of the codebase.

#14Nice! It's a bit unfortunate that OSX doesn't support OpenGL 4.3 which is needed for this project. It currently only supports OpenGl 4.1. I'm currently toying around with a similiar project where I would have enjoyed to try out compute shaders.
I think, there is a possibility to not use the core-OpenGL but kind of upgrade to the legacy-version.
But I don't know much about that...

#15If you like it, I will record and post a video of it this evening.
It would be much appreciated.

From what I've read, you can get pretty good performance on an iPad Pro. Here's 8M pixels:

The author provides the source. Portable to the Mac?

#17All right, here is a small video of the simulation:
But after all this recording, converting and uploading, the quality is a bit down... If you like it and have the necessary hardware, I would recommend to just run it yourself. Looks a lot better :)

There you go :)

#19"In the future, we are committed to bringing it to other platforms, starting with Linux..." Nice to see a change of heart.
It kind of is Linux ;)

I won't know, if you find some^^
I consider myself as decent (but not genius) programmer and you might find some cool code snippets, but probably not in this project ;)
For me this was more about the endresult and getting compute shader to work. Never considered publishing it really...
