Pretty slick it has Three.js built in. I've not sure I've seen that in a language before in the standard library.
Hoot[1] already exists and does a very good job of running scheme in web assembly. Everything Spritely is working on is pretty cool.<p>1: <a href="https://spritely.institute/hoot/" rel="nofollow">https://spritely.institute/hoot/</a>
This really gets at the issue with JavaScript in the age of AI: it’s just not a terribly statically verifiable language, and DOM work is incredibly prone to failing silently while the app itself is clearly not working. We’ve had to paper over it with TypeScript and frameworks that impose constraints just to stop several classes of bugs, and even then it doesn’t go terribly well.<p>The flip side is that AI is making the underlying code more like a..compilation target? At least in the sense that, yes, as this site mentions, Scheme is ugly to read and would be hell to write the old way, but with the new way..maybe we can try because it would give us what native JavaScript and the latest browser standards never could: reliability
I tried to edit the Scheme source but it seems to have a bug where every editing action seems to happen a row above of where the cursor is.
1 Self hosting in browser with hygienic macros
2 handle HTML and CSS like Scheme (Expand with macro)
