Weft—Enabling Tidal on the Web
summary
A Haskell-like interpreter (Weft) compiles TidalCycles syntax into calls that drive Strudel’s JavaScript pattern library, implemented as a single parser, type checker, and runtime in a JavaScript module. It runs interactively in the browser and ships type inference and error reporting in a web live‑coding environment rather than silent eval. Demo code links to the FARM paper and DOI; useful if you want a concrete browser port of Tidal that keeps Tidal’s types while targeting Strudel’s JS engines.
