Docs, and some philosophy here:
https://gitlab.com/flotsam/flotsam/blob/master/daisy/notes.txt
The source code has a log at the top, which also might be useful:
https://gitlab.com/flotsam/flotsam/blob/master/daisy/daisy.scm
Also some conclusions after using it live:
https://gitlab.com/flotsam/flotsam/blob/master/daisy/conclusions.txt
All in the original repo here:
https://gitlab.com/flotsam/flotsam/tree/master/daisy
(which itself is part of a sprawling git repo of mainly livecoding stuff)
TanScript looks very similar, it's great to see! - as Alex mentioned,
daisy was based on petrinets - I recommend looking into them, there are
quite a few interactive examples online to play with.
This is a project I've wanted to use again for some time, one of the
best features was the way you can give the 'nodes' a lifetime so code
disappears as it gets old. I've missed this in other livecoding
languages since this.
As it's a graph based language for building graphs I worked mainly on
building different kinds of quines and then listening to the sounds they
made as they replicated.
cheers,
dave
