Show HN: ÆTHRA – A tiny programming language for writing music as code

2•CzaxTanmay•1h ago
Hi HN, I’ve been building ÆTHRA, a small programming language focused on expressing music and emotion through code. The goal is not DAW replacement or heavy theory, but a minimal, readable DSL where rhythm, mood, and structure feel natural to write—closer to thought than tooling. Unlike live-coding tools, ÆTHRA is designed to be: simple to read even for non-musicians deterministic (no browser timing issues) focused on composition, not performance beginner-friendly but extensible It’s free, open source, and still early. I’d love feedback—especially from people who’ve tried tools like Strudel, Sonic Pi, or TidalCycles. GitHub: https://github.com/TanmayCzax/AETHRA -- Tanmay
