dublang history

before the history some words about why dublang was created

motivation

the motivations to create dublang are:

to take the advantage of the client-server architecture implemented in most part of the live coding tools to allows servers management indepently from the text editor
- examples: start, stop, restart, logs, etc
to do live coding mixing multiple live coding tools and languages in the same source code on the same session
- example: mix in the same file SuperCollider language with Tidal Cycles language
integrates as many tools as possible, not only live coding languages, but also tool that could be useful on a live coding session
- example: control OBS Studio or MPV media player from the same live coding session using Tidal and SuperCollider
propose a workflow to manage live coding projects for artwork creation or live shows using some good practices from the software engineering field
- example: use git to track changes on source code, document all the dependencies, use free software, etc

dublang was formely created with the name hrung, the project development started in 10 Dev 2021
