#2For anyone interested, the main author (if I understood properly) did a presentation at RustNL on the UI aspect that was quite impressive performance wise : https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg

#3Very impressive UI work with Rust. As @rvdca pointed out the author had a great presentation. Definitely recommend it.
I notice that there is a bug when I open the console with cmd-option-J: a note will be triggered and stay there forever.
The audio worklet uses postMessages (https://makepad.nl/makepad/platform/src/os/web_browser/audio...), which is not GC free.
For those are interested, I am maintaining https://glicol.org/ which is also an Rust/WASM audio app in browsers.

Technically, that talk is by the author of the UI system/IDE that uses the synthesizer as an extended hello world. The synthesizer itself is by a different guy ( https://thisisnotrocketscience.nl ) who's been calling his bassline synths somethingmetallicfish since almost forever.

#7Does anyone know if the native UI framework supports being "hosted" in the sense that makes it useable for audio plugin dev (VST3 and others)?

The audio worklet doesnt use postmessages anymore btw. I removed that way of commmunicating with the main thread. It's all shared memory in wasm now.

We can definitely support it being hosted, however this is extra work on the platform side. VST is a licensing nightmare tho, i didnt really feel like stepping into that for now.

We also have a much newer version however the workload of 'everything' has been a bit overwhelming since we aren't actually making a synth(thats just an example application) but an IDE, designtool and a framework.
