INTRODUCTION TO SPHERICAL HARMONICS FOR GRAPHICS PROGRAMMERS
finally done
Lots of fun recently with text rendering, without OpenGL this time. Still #CommonLisp, SDL3, FreeType2, Harfbuzz and FontConfig. Here rendering one of its own code file.
Rendering the cursor made me realize the need to split grapheme clusters myself. One day.
Streaming #McCLIM development in one hour.

I will be attempting a proof-of-concept integration of my opengl medium (WIP) and the upstream SDL2 backend (also WIP). I hope I've been flexible enough but it could end with many TODOs :D
They've raised $17M to build what comes after Git, but you can help me keep Git magical right now, with a much smaller contribution. 💸
Thanks for your support! ❤️
I plan on streaming #McCLIM dev on 2026-04-10 at 10am CDT/ 15:00 UTC (when this toot is about 12h old)

I'm now too curious, so I'm going to attempt to use my existing opengl medium with the upstream SDL2 backend branch and see whether I've made it flexible enough.

Imagine somebody also getting a grant to work fulltime on nREPL, tree-sitter grammar, Emacs extension and all other cool dev tooling and IDE-like features for Guile Hoot!
Oh, wait, somebody actually got it today! :D
Wastrel milestone: full hoot support, with generational gc as a treat https://wingolog.org/archives/2026/04/09/wastrel-milestone-full-hoot-support-with-generational-gc-as-a-treat
What's this? A Hoot REPL? A NATIVELY COMPILED EXECUTABLE @spritely Hoot REPL?
What? That can't be right, can it?
IT IS!
- Hoot: A Scheme -> WebAssembly toolkit and compiler, includes its own REPL
- Whippet: A new generational GC by @wingo
- Wastrel: A WASM->C compiler also by @wingo which can even compile WASM-GC by embedding Whippet
WHICH MEANS!!! Hoot's REPL, compiled to WASM, can be compiled to C compiled to a native executable WITH GC included by Whippet
If you aren't like HOLY FUCKING SHIT then you are MISSING IT because OMFG
Also consider: Hoot is basically an implementation of Guile. WHICH ALSO MEANS we now have a path to build statically compiled versions of Hoot-compatible Guile programs!
