For DSP work it adds something Pascal never had out of the box \u2014 effortless concurrency and a testing\/benchmarking culture built into the toolchain. The algo-* suite, go-dws, the graphics ports, gll-tools and the PipeWire experiments from the previous posts are all Go, and none of them would have been more fun in any other language I know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why TypeScript<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where things need a face, I reach for TypeScript and React. That, too, has a longer history than it looks: my first typed-web experiments ran through ts2pas and DWScript&#8217;s JavaScript backend a decade ago, and today projects like the algo-drum machine or the block-based DWScript editor (<a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/CWBudde\/dwscript-blocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dwscript-blocks<\/a>) are straight TypeScript. I also work daily with AI-assisted development workflows and enjoy exploring what they make possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A living portfolio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This site preserves the history; the present tense lives at <a href=\"https:\/\/cwbudde.github.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cwbudde.github.io<\/a> \u2014 a small React app that reads my public repositories live from the GitHub API. Nothing there is curated by hand, so it is always current by construction: whatever I pushed last week is already on it. If this retrospective series made you curious what happens next, that page \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/CWBudde\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">github.com\/CWBudde<\/a> directly \u2014 is where to look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks for reading along.
