zwirn-0.2.2.1: README.md

# 🧶🧵🧶 zwirn 🧶🧵🧶 

zwirn is a live coding language for playing with nested functions of time.

## Inspiration

zwirn is an experiment in making the pattern language [TidalCycles](https://tidalcycles.org/) into a small functional language of it's own. while zwirn's internals are quite different from Tidal's, zwirns design owes almost everything to tidals design by [Alex McLean](https://slab.org/).

the internal representation of signals of time was implemented together (and parallel) with [Julian Rohrhuber](https://wertlos.org/~rohrhuber/), in an effort to port tidal to SuperCollider. This can be found in the [zwirn-core](https://codeberg.org/uzu/zwirn/src/branch/main/src/zwirn-core/Zwirn/Core) sublibrary.

the implementation of the compiler is inspired by the excellent [Write You a Haskell](https://github.com/sdiehl/write-you-a-haskell) by Stephen Diehl.
