@SrRochardBunson Sounds like a great idea!!

Pretty sure that I want a Jim Bow and noter/slide for my mountain #dulcimer.

I want to be able to make as many different kinds of noises out of it as possible. πŸ˜‚

Any suggestions?

Speaking of tiny hands, there's a special appearance by one in this video where I play all kinds of things through the Audrey II feedback synth (one of the firmware options for the Simple Touch kit I built last week). Super fun, controlled destruction https://youtu.be/l41w2Un2k3M

@jannem @arclight I have access to a collection of PDP-11 Fortran 77 that I worked with in the 1980s. gfortran can't deal with it; the team is rewriting most of it in Python. ;-)
@jannem @arclight I earned a good living with a mix of assembly and Fortran for decades. I haven't touched Fortran since 1990; I'm happy with R because the "slow" parts were moved to C or Fortran libraries decades ago.

It's official: I'm recording my new album with Ardour. I've been testing out All The DAWs on Linux, and it's hands down my favorite. Stable, feature rich, and logical.

Now that its cue/clip features are maturing, they'll come in handy here and there, although that's not my primary use case. BUT having them means I won't have to go to Bitwig when I need to do some loopy thing.

Started the first project today. The music is ready, time to set it down.

S is a happy marriage of Lisp and Fortran. R is S with Lisp replaced by Scheme. Julia is "R is too <expletive deleted> slow so let's do the Fortran - Lisp marriage over, because it ain't 1976 any more!"😈

Sounds like a memory leak - were you compiling something? GHC does some really RAM-intensive things.
