zwirn is a live coding language for playing with nested functions of time.

Inspiration

zwirn is an experiment in making the pattern language TidalCycles into a small functional language of it's own. while zwirn's internals are quite different from Tidal's, zwirns design owes almost everything to tidals design by Alex McLean.

the internal representation of signals of time was implemented together (and parallel) with Julian Rohrhuber, in an effort to port tidal to SuperCollider. This can be found in the zwirn-core sublibrary.

the implementation of the compiler is inspired by the excellent Write You a Haskell by Stephen Diehl.
