Very impressive UI work with Rust. As @rvdca pointed out the author had a great presentation. Definitely recommend it.

I notice that there is a bug when I open the console with cmd-option-J: a note will be triggered and stay there forever.

The audio worklet uses postMessages (https://makepad.nl/makepad/platform/src/os/web_browser/audio...), which is not GC free.

For those are interested, I am maintaining https://glicol.org/ which is also an Rust/WASM audio app in browsers.



We also have a much newer version however the workload of 'everything' has been a bit overwhelming since we aren't actually making a synth(thats just an example application) but an IDE, designtool and a framework.


So is it going to be a Figma style tool?


Yep, with a visual studio style IDE for Rust. so Big project.


Why didn't you integrate with VSC?


We might, but only after we made our own. Our editor will finally break the barrier of inlining widgets/controls performantly. The editor is one piece with the visual designer (2 sides of a coin)


Sounds cool I'll be keeping an eye on you guys


What's Figma?


Figma is an online designtool mostly used for doing UI designs.


The audio worklet doesnt use postmessages anymore btw. I removed that way of commmunicating with the main thread. It's all shared memory in wasm now.


Cool. There is no doubt that you guys can nail it.
