Bass: the beat drop after Concourse
Our today’s guest spent 4 days building a feature for his side project so that we could ship it together on Ship It!, while recording. The feature is called rave mode, and the context is Bass, an interpreted functional scripting language written in Go, riffing on the ideas of Kernel & Clojure. When the local build runs, you can now press r to synchronise the beats of your currently playing Spotify track with the build output. For a demo, see bass v0.9.0 release. Please welcome Alex Suraci, a.k.a. vito, the creator of Concourse CI and Bass. This episode is dedicated to the late John Shutt, the creator of Kernel. Your ideas continue in Bass. Thank you for getting them out into the world.
