And what's even more satisfying about systems like K (and APL derivatives) or FORTH is how fast they are, way faster than any garbage runtime we build today. And they are fast mostly because they are small. So small that the entirety of the runtime and interpreter can fit within the CPU cache […]

VEDA - VJ app for Atom #VEDAJS #GLSL
VEDA is a GLSL runtime environment for Atom. It's just like GLSL sandbox or Shadertoy, but you can use autocomplete and linter by using existing Atom packages. Moreover, It supports Audio inputs , MIDI inputs, loading videos and images, etc...!!!!
