Live coding Sonic Tau on a $8 ESP32-S3 like it's completely normal.
I have SuperSonic + the Tau compiler & runtime running on the board.
I can send it OSC messages with code as text & it can compile & hot swap the VM byte code without skipping a beat.
I haven't been this excited in a while.
The majority of the new features added to Sonic Pi have come directly from the adoption of SuperSonic.
Improving SuperSonic now improves Sonic Pi:
* Using JUCE enables live hot swapping the audio hardware.
* Integrating Link v4 enables Link Audio.
* Integrating MIDI enables MIDI clock support.
Dancing to Sonic Pi's Rerezzed example running live on an instant-booting embedded board. No "computer" involved!
For my lovely hw friends, it's an ESP32-S3 dev board running SuperSonic at 16 bit 48kHz. Audio is via i2s to a pico audio board by Pimoroni.
Sonic Pi now supports game controllers.
Connect a spare Xbox controller just like a MIDI controller and jam away.
Use your finely honed Fortnite skills to express yourself through music!
Available next week as an exclusive pre-release for Patreon supporters in v5 Beta 4.

Sonic Pi now has the ability to sync bpm with external MIDI clocks.
Up to 8 simultaneous MIDI clocks are supported - so you could drive multiple threads at different BPMs simultaneously via different clocks.
Coming in v5 Beta 4 in a week or so...
Nice, SuperSonic just passed 200 stars and 1000 commits.
(And I haven't even started the fun stuff...)
