Comment on Thi.ng – open-source building blocks for computational design and art

Comments

thi-ng/geom is my favorite Clojure project.

What makes it your favorite Clojure project?

It's extremely modular and simple and extensible. It's a collecting of small libaries that makes generating arbitrary vector graphics extremely fun. You have a base SVG layer and on top you have a charting library, 3D models and other stuff. It also comes with a ton of cool math mini libraries. If something is missing it's very easy to write your own.

All the pieces are very decoupled and in pure Clojure (unlike a lot of the heavier scicloj stuff that's being use nowadays)

@geokon made some good points. The library is very well thought out, easy to use, simple, data driven, composable. The author is eager to help with questions.
