Write your own modular synthesizer in Golang
summary
Project Noisefloor implements a modular software synthesizer written in Golang and transpiled to JavaScript so it runs in-browser and natively on Linux and Windows, uses WebSockets to stream a DOM-like UI state and supports multi-client sync, builds modules from simple XML patches with a code generator, demos additive synthesis, FM and LFOs and an arpeggiator and audio scopes, and benchmarks show single-sample traversal in the JS build can be 40× slower than native while simple function-call overhead can be almost identical between targets.
