Javascript engines are quite fast these days. Can we get away with doing serious signal-processing in Javascript yet? People are doing things like image processing tools and audio spectrum visualisation in Javascript, so the answer must sometimes be yes, but I wanted to get an idea how well you'd get on with more demanding tasks… Continue reading FFTs in Javascript

New software releases all around
