WebChucK: Computer Music Programming on the Web

WebChucK is ChucK—a strongly-timed computer music programming language—running on the web. Recent advancements in browser technology (including WebAssembly and the Web Audio API’s AudioWorklet interface) have enabled languages written in C/C++ (like ChucK) to run in web browsers with near-native performance. WebChucK has been adopted as the programming platform in an introductory computer music course at Stanford University. By running in any browser, WebChucK broadens and simplifies access to computer music programming, opening the door for new users and creative workflows.
