Thirteen posts ago this series started with a bit-crusher written in Object Pascal. Time to close the loop with a look at the stack I actually work in today — Go on the backend, TypeScript and React on the frontend — and at the place where all current work is visible at once.

Audio on Linux, in Go
The VST years were a Windows story. My current audio experiments live somewhere else entirely: on Linux, inside the PipeWire graph, written in Go — and the parallels to the old days are almost comically direct.

The measurement thread from the retrospective never ended — it moved to Go. gll-tools is a Go library and a set of CLI tools for reading EASE GLL (Generic Loudspeaker Library) data, the format the pro-audio world uses to describe loudspeaker directivity and behavior.

Alongside audio, 2D graphics has been the second constant in my work — from the Graphics32 team years and AggPasMod to today. The modern chapter of that thread is written in Go: agg_go and matplotlib-go.

Of all my current projects, go-dws is the most personal: a reimplementation of DWScript — the object-oriented Object Pascal scripting engine — in Go. It is the continuation of a Pascal thread I have followed for decades, by other means.

Fast forward to today. Most of my current code is written in Go, and the largest chunk of it is a family of DSP libraries under the algo-* umbrella — the direct descendant of everything the retrospective posts described, rebuilt on a modern stack.
Continue reading “algo-*: a DSP suite in Go”The open source years
Threading through every previous post in this series is one phrase: “taken from my open source project”. Time to give the open source work its own chapter — because for about a decade, most of what I wrote ended up public, first on SourceForge, later on GitHub.

At some point the browser became too capable to ignore. My path to the web was an unusual one though: instead of leaving Pascal behind, I compiled it — via Smart Mobile Studio and DWScript — straight into JavaScript. The results are on the Web-Apps page.
Continue reading “Web apps, the Pascal way”Small tools and perfect players
Between the big projects there was always a drawer full of small ones — nifty tools written as examples for my open source project, and mini-games written for a very specific kind of fun: not playing the game, but writing a player that never loses.
Continue reading “Small tools and perfect players”Measure everything
If plugins were the fun side of DSP, measurement was the honest side. You can convince yourself a filter sounds good; you cannot argue with its magnitude response. Over the years I built a small arsenal of measurement tools and published a collection of measurements made with them.
