WOW

Okay I wasn't expecting when I found this program. When I dug into it, I was surprised to find out that it was a live coding investment from 2012ish. Now I'm not the greatest programmer in the world, the most I did was make admittedly involved TI-BASIC programs when I was a teen, so I was worried I was going to be unable to do much in this. However a big selling point for this programing language is that the programs are compact, and by that I mean very compact. The most simple program is an empty program, and some of the other are "qs" , "+/" or "**" you can go really far with very little here.

Thing is, if you know how to use this programing language you can get some hard core stuff done, "vArs1ldv*vv*0!1-1!0dFX4X1)Lv*vv*-vv2*0@+x1@+4X1)Lv*vv+4x->?Lpp0:ppRpRE.5*;" This program zooms in to the mandelbrot set. Do I know how this works? No not at all, I haven't got a clue how it works honestly. But at the same time having a little bit of knowledge I am able to get some very interesting visuals and audio, and I'm happy with that.

What I'm saying is, I think even with no programing skills you can still get interesting samples for musical use. You honestly could probably nearly key-smash a program, and still get something usable for music. Or you could record the visuals, for your music videos or other stuff. Its a super flexible thing, and gives at least 10 fold of what you put in. If you are into noisey or droney music, this thing is a god send, you just need to massage the samples some times.

And if you want to get into live coding this is going to get you into that much faster then, say TidalCycles or Sonic Pi. BUT the problem is, those things make songs and so far I have not seen, anyone make a "song" with IBNIZ, if that makes sense. Great for visuals, great for making samples, horrible for structure from what I see.
