      1. progress on mirroring GLSL semantics on the CLR! MAGE made generating the vector types reasonable! resulting assembly is useable from C#!

      why mirror GLSL semantics on the CLR, i hear you asking? well *deep breath* the idea is to be able to prototype functions in a Clojure REPL…

    …interactively on the CPU and then compile those same Clojure functions into GLSL in a live coding environment. a single language for CPU…

      …and GPU. to do that 1) the GLSL library needs to be replicated on the CPU and 2) we need a Clojure→GLSL compiler. made progress on 1 today…

              its been a minute since i've done bytecode shenanigans! i had to add circular types and properties to MAGE to make it work! i missed this!
