Not that Scala.
kvakvs•2mo ago
This should have been in the title :)
beefman•2mo ago
This predates that. It's written in Ada.
AdieuToLogic•2mo ago
> This predates that. It's written in Ada.

Does it count if, combining the two, one could infer a musical scale[0] such as:

  Ada (ay-dah), Scala (ska-lah)
Bonus points for Latin aficionados:

  The word "scale" originates from the Latin scala,
  which literally means "ladder".
:-)

Every Good Boy…

Crazy how these two disciplines are so intertwined.

AdieuToLogic•2mo ago

  Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do, So Do ... compile please!
:-D

EDIT:

Seriously, though, what both music and fundamentally sound programming languages have in common is math. Elegantly defined versions of both are beautiful expressions of thought.

packetlost•2mo ago
Yes, but the programming languages is much more well known.

Regardless, cool! This is the first project I'm aware of to have been written in Ada

goku12•2mo ago
Do you have any specific restrictions on what a 'project' means here? I have seen Ada used on an extensive scale in aerospace and defense projects, including a simple realtime OS.
packetlost•2mo ago
Most of those projects are pretty locked down/closed, I just mean I can actually see the project to a reasonable degree.
goku12•2mo ago
Fair enough. And yes, it's such a shame that there aren't more public, especially FOSS, projects in Ada.
lucyjojo•2mo ago
Been slowly learning Ada these last few weeks and I regret not having learnt it years ago...

This thing is great.

nickt•2mo ago

And not the Amiga Scala.

tanin•2mo ago
Took me a few minutes to go from "what is going on?" to "oh this is not the Scala".
anematode•2mo ago
Love Scala! One of my favorite high school memories is putting Scala files into a DAW and hooking it up to an electric piano, so that my piano teacher and I could play around with different tunings.
paulddraper•2mo ago
Should change title to “Scala: software for creating scales”

It's from the future! Says 27 Nov 2026 at the bottom :-)

That aside, the fonts looked very fuzzy, until I scaled to 133% in FF. Then they were perfect, crystal clear. Anybody else had that, too?
