What is dawn?

dawn is a secret new project ^_^ - it centers around music production

ooo ... interesting. I wrote a language spec for a sequencing heavy language ~2 years ago, but I couldn't find a target implementation that I liked. The original implementation is Java (ugh) and mostly not written by me.

very interesting ! have u seen chuck ? I'm just using Javascript at the moment. With a C++ audio engine that I've custom built.

I hadn't seen Chuck, but it looks interesting. It doesn't align with the design goals of celluloid though. The major design goal was to "make both simple and complex media composition operations more comprehensible to the author." I wanted to create a sequencing language that more novice programmers (i.e. real musicians and performers) could use without a total disconnect.

Would be really interested in playing around with your C++ audio engine. The Nodejitsu team has done some work in this area, although I didn't have a chance to play with it yet:

https://github.com/tmpvar/node-irrklang

great stuff - I'll let u know when I've got something ready to play with. I've seen those projects too - but I needed something a bit more performant - so decided to hand roll ! - tell me - where is nodejitsu based ?

Nodejitsu is bi-coastal (NYC and SF). Our NYC offices are at General Assembly (http://generalassemb.ly), where I (and most of the team) is based.

Look forward to seeing what you've got going on with Dawn. Could be a really interesting language back-end for Celluloid :-D
