It's been a while, but I've finally made another video with the progress on my flow based programming project

https://youtu.be/8PR2R1S5lPYβ–Ύ

.. I show just a few things: real-time visual updates to the flow depending on user input .. and a just-in-time compiler to webassembly embedded in the flow, also with real-time visual output. 2 minutes is too short to show everything I've done or to dive in deeply, but still... I hope you like it!β˜ΊοΈπŸ˜€

Cool stuff! How does the wasm to visual output work?
m
The wasm writes to memory, which is exported to javascript. From there it is set as imagedata on a canvas

Nice! Is the project in use or mostly experimental?
m
Thanks! It's mostly experimental, I work on it myself in spare hours and during the weekends. I hope to get it more into the open later this year.
Here in the netherlands we have a subsidy arrangement called "wbso", which I use to give me a "tax discount" , that helps me to spend time on this project on a regular basis.

Smart :) Im in NL as well. Normally younwork as a contractor, or did you apply for wbso as an individual? (Didnt know that was possible)
m
I am working as a contractor (zzp/eenmanszaak) and because I am registered as a business (just one person), so you can apply for wbso. Basically define a project with its technical difficulties you need to solve(it needs to be "unique" for you). As a one-person business you need to spend 500 hours yearly on that project and its technical difficulties.

Neat demo with the ball splitting and coalescing!

I'm a sucker for graph languages that visually depict execution state. Nice to see that you've added that, and would love to see if that leads to any new interesting directions for the project.
m
Thanks! One of the things that I want to add back in is the timeline controller, so that you can move through time and see the execution path at that point in time.
