I appreciate that this is nerdy as all hell, but it is astonishing work. Give it a listen.

Lol, I'm not a programmer at all, so no idea what's going on but that tune brings back memories! Presumably someone has too much time on their hands 😉

I kept on getting "performance error. Minipops 7 can't keep up" messages. Do they use the same hamster supplier that STW use?

It's nerdy as ****, but kinda cool at the same time.

Cool bit is how he's built the sounds - virtual instruments in a tiny amount of code.
Interesting reading through it, neat stuff.

That's pretty cool - nice to be able to see the code behind it.

TBH I was idly thinking of doing a f# version at the time I wrote that 🙂 so my excuse is I was distracted.

I think what first blew my mind in JS was when someone ported over the Apple Mac emulator and you could run old Mac apps in the browser.

That is epic - been listening to some JMJ stuff recently - takes me back to my multi-hour paper rounds....

For any Jarre geeks there's some chats between him and Matt Berry on Spotify (and probably elsewhere), the second episode covers Oxygene
