Welcome to the Chata programming language (github.com)

Hi everyone, this is a little project I've been working on. Chata is a programming language that's just for DSP or Digital Signal Processing.

DSP is the core technology behind a lot of fancy things like noise cancelling headphones, medical radiology equipment, and other advanced mathy things like that. Unfortunately, it's hard to deal with unless you want a barrage of bespoke, often closed-source tools and libraries.

The idea behind Chata is to get rid of everything you don't need for DSP in order to make it easier and freer to do awesome stuff with DSP. If you're wondering where I got the motivation to do this, just scroll to the bottom or look at my Lemmy username!

I wanted to like Faust, but it's super duper ugly due to putting all of its eggs in the functional basket.

Y'all say that like it's a bad thing...

It looks like you're considering different programming-paradigms, and I'm asking you to consider having a toggleable set of modes, so something which needs ( for whatever reason ) to be in a particular paradigm, .. can be in that paradigm.

Functional, imperative, whatever.

Make it like radiobuttons, from the user-perspective: modal, with a declarable project-default, and variances declared on a per-file basis.

THIS file needs to be THIS paradigm, e.g...

( functional overall, imperative for the tricky-to-make-fast/efficient bit, as 1 possible example: eradicate many bugs & put performance where it needs to be. )

just an idea from somebody whose been working on cracking what the proper minimal-set of maximally-orthogonal programming languages requires, for a decade or 2...

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?
