A Web Playground for Ciaramella

Ciaramella is a domain specific programming language for audio DSP. It experiments a fully declarative syntax and the Synchronous Data Flow computational model, featuriing high modularity and composability. We implemented a web playground for coding in Ciaramella, compiling and instantly generating working web audio plugin prototypes. In order to obtain that, its compiler, Zampogna, which is written in JavaScript, has been embedded in a web page, and it has been augmented for the production of JavaScript code. We developed a simple graphical user interface tar geting both domain experts and newcomers. Finally, this work lays the foundations for future WebAssembly support as target code.
