What it does

A compiled, statically typed programming language, offering high-level syntax with low-level control. Scar is a RAD-centred programming language that includes defensive programming as part of the language grammar, while still being flexible enough to iterate and prototype upon ideas. Existing options were either garbage collected (pauses, slowness), plagued with numerous footguns, or cryptic and unreadable due to their overly loose and flexible conventions. This language aims to strike a balance between safety and iterability. No hidden allocations. This does not hinder readability, in fact it greatly helps to have complete explicitness under a Ruby-style, readable syntax. Generics and…from scarlang.pages.dev

  • I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display▲1,145

    I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

  • Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model▲1,003

    Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

  • I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization▲865

    I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!

  • The current sky at your approximate location, as a CSS gradient▲788

    For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript. Source code and additional information is available on GitHub: https://github.com/dnlzro/horizon [1] https://html.energy/html-day/2025/index.html
