WereSoCool !Now In Stereo! *

A language for binaural, microtonal composition built in Rust.

Make cool sounds. Impress your friends/pets/plants.

Special Thanks:

This wouldn't exist in a million years if it wasn't for Antonis Stampoulis' help with language design or the help of friends/programmers like Sönke Hahn, Hao Lian, Catharine M, Matt Handler, Lee Pender, Amanda Doucette, Khaled Alquaddoomi, Alex Kestner, everyone else that has sat down to program with me. Of course, special thanks to Maria for always listening to my newweirdsounds and programming problems. - Danny
