Guile Hoot v0.2.0 released!

Guile Hoot v0.2.0 released!

[Thompson, David]

Hey Guilers!

On behalf of the Spritely Institute, I'm happy to announce that Guile
Hoot v0.2.0 has been released! Hoot is a Scheme to WebAssembly
compiler backend for Guile, which means you can now run Scheme in the
browser for real, tail calls and all.

The highlights of this release are:

* Nearly all of R7RS-small is now implemented! Hoot 0.2.0 is now
capable of running many more standard Scheme programs than 0.1.0.

* A foreign function interface (FFI) has been added to make it easy to
declare imported host functions and call them from Scheme.

* User-defined record types, sorely missing from 0.1.0, have been added.

Read the full release notes here:
https://spritely.institute/news/guile-hoot-v020-released.html

If you use Guix then it's easy to try out Hoot:

    guix pull
    guix shell guile-next guile-hoot

But wait, there's more! I've been busy writing up a tutorial for using
Hoot to make React-like web pages, and that is also available now:

https://spritely.institute/news/building-interactive-web-pages-with-guile-hoot.html

If you're curious what it looks like to integrate Scheme with
JavaScript browser APIs then definitely check out that post.

Okay, that's all for now.  Happy hooting!

- Dave

Have been watching hoot to play around with webgl and miniaudio for some
audio/visual fun, thanks for the release!

Re: Guile Hoot v0.2.0 released!

[Daniel Skinner]

I hit a snag trying to use in an AudioWorklet so was resolving that instead
of making something more interesting. I worked it out which required a
change to the reflect.js instatiate_streaming to allow referencing
already-compiled modules keyed by given path as that's the only practical
way it seems to provide to an AudioWorklet.

Put here for reference (see everything prefixed realtime.*):
https://gitlab.com/daniel126/guile-hoot-ffi-demo

The realtime_worklet.js has a copy of reflect.js at top that includes the
changes mentioned and also a TODO of a potential issue within same function.

Tested in firefox. The example uses AudioWorklet as a sink only; the raw
audio data is generated in the guile wasm module by writing into a constant
bytevector, then in AudioWorklet that data is copied-projected-copied out;
maybe there's a cleaner way to do that copy out.

With things spiked out now, I can maybe do something a little more
interesting when I can find the time.

I don't think I quite understand what's going on. Are you passing over
WebAssembly.Instance objects as the event data to the AudioWorklet?
Could you just instantiate everything in the main "thread" and pass
over ready to use instances?

I also noticed you are doing things with WebGL. You beat me to it. ;)

At some point, I will be porting Chickadee to the web using WebGL and
Web Audio so your exploration here will help make that happen.

Thanks for sharing your progress!

Not the instance, but rather WebAssembly.Module via compileStreaming as the
instance is not serializable.

> Could you just instantiate everything in the main "thread" and pass over

My understanding is no; modules on the other hand can be serialized and
passed to AudioWorklet via postMessage. Once there, they can be
instantiated in the worklet.

In my research, this is a pervasive issue for projects targeting wasm that
stems from limited api availability in AudioWorklet (e.g. no networking, no
fetch due to thread priority given, other little things). It also appears
the situation is made intentional and won't be changing.

see for example:
https://github.com/WebAudio/web-audio-api/issues/1439

https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-pack/issues/689

or search "wasm audioworklet fetch"

The situation in hoot could be improved by accounting for this and basing
the Scheme.load* of reflect.js around modules too instead of only fetchable
paths. What I did was the smallest diff possible to confirm workable by
adjusting instantiate_streaming and adding a Scheme.set_module_map but I
dont necessarily recommend this.

iirc and specific to AudioWorklet, the situation could be further improved
by making the contents of reflect.js work with import, but (again, iirc)
the import statement for AudioWorklet only currently works in firefox and I
didn't get a chance to see if its planned for other browsers; in this way,
I wouldn't need to copy/paste the contents into realtime_worklet.js

> I also noticed you are doing things with WebGL. You beat me to it. ;)

it "just worked"! But I need to write up some helpers as I explore forms of
api design to do something more interesting.

> At some point, I will be porting Chickadee to the web using WebGL and

I've only been writing scheme for like 5 weeks so it's my process for
learning. I read through Chickadee like 3 weeks back when researching
people's conventions and I appreciate you making that available.

What would be neat is to also get guile-fibers going (guile-fibers on
desktop platform is what got me to dive in to begin with).

Ah, okay. That makes sense. I haven't used AudioWorklets before and
it's been awhile since I've used Web Workers which have similar
constraints.

Yeah, I think what we'd want is an alternate interface rather than
overloading what instantiate_streaming does, but the general pattern
of loading the module on the main thread and instantiating on the
worker sounds like the way to go.

reflect.js is pretty rudimentary right now. import support would be
very nice. I'll file an issue on GitLab so we don't forget about it.

Yeah, it takes quite a bit of helper code to make something useful with OpenGL.

Oh neat, welcome to the world of Scheme, then! :)

Fibers is the highest priority library for us to get running with
Hoot. We're still working on how the module system is going to work
(very tricky!) but when it does we're going to figure out how we port
fibers.

well I'm very happy to hear that! There's very specific abstractions I want
to work with for exploring stuff and that makes it easier.

Audio

Also to add, you'd probably want to use AudioBuffer and not AudioWorklet
for the sound which will allow everything to be in the same module as well,
then you would not be seeing these complications.

But I've been doing Web Audio for even less time (4ish days) so my
knowledge in the area is lacking currently.

Re: Guile Hoot v0.2.0 released!

[Daniel Skinner]

Given some inexact that I would eventually want to truncate and use as the
index arg of vector-ref, do I have any options for this in this release of
hoot?

Notably I didn't see a definition for inexact->exact and I dont really know
my way around scheme too well to know how to address otherwise.
