Nannou – An open-source creative-coding framework for Rust

I would suggest checking their github repo[1] and seeing the examples from the book “nature of code” they are astonishing with a shitload of them ! Same with “generative design” [1] https://github.com/nannou-org/nannou/tree/master/nature_of_c...

Nannou was recently bumped to 0.9 - they had a nice blog post here, with some neat examples (some commercial) including laser projection: https://nannou.cc/posts/nannou_v0.9 Being a big Processing fan, and a bit of an artist too, this kind of creative framework is something I have been hoping was available way back when I started playing around with Rust in late 2012. Thanks goes to the Nannou team for all their hard work over the years in making this possible!

Nannou is great! I tried it and found that: 1. The initial setup and build time is perhaps a little long or complex for use in classrooms/workshops but it's fine for personal/professional use. 2. Rust's build time might not feel like a natural fit for creative coding. Even though initial build times are long (~3 minutes on an 8-core 2019 MBP), rebuilds are fast enough to create a short feedback loop. It's not as fluid as dynamic languages like Clojure/JavaScript…
