Makepad

With 20+ years’ experience as a C/C++, JavaScript and more recently Rust developer, I've always been excited by using computation for visuals and audio. For this to work you need performance, and a smooth workflow enabled by the right tooling. After having everything I wanted with C except stable code I moved to JavaScript and web technologies. However, this never got to the point of being able to make fast applications that use modern CPU and GPU power. Now with Rust we have a new chance. I've been an entrepreneur my entire life building VJ software in the 00's, then web UI technology and web IDEs with Cloud9, and am now reimagining the developer workflow in Rust with Makepad.
