I thought the same. And thanks for sharing your compositions -- I particularly enjoyed "killed in the light of a crescent moon".

From the site:

ORCA is an ... esoteric programming language ... capable of sending MIDI, OSC & UDP to your audio interface, like Ableton, Renoise, VCV Rack or SuperCollider.


I suppose, but it sounds a little like: don't bother testing, just use good code.


Why? Your yeast still gets tested for the purpose so I don’t see how this applies. Especially if the end risk is that you go to the store and buy yeast which has a higher risk of working than stockpiled yeast.

I was eager for some insight into sophisticated software (either deep or funny - I was open for anything); I was greeted with a prompt to enable JavaScript. I still haven't been able to clean all the irony off my monitor.

Ask not ('tis forbidden knowledge), what our destined term of years, Mine and yours; nor scan the tables of your Babylonish seers. Better far to bear the future, my Leuconoe, like the past, Whether Jove has many winters yet to give, or this our last; This, that makes the Tyrrhene billows spend their strength against the shore. Strain your wine and prove your wisdom; life is short; should hope be more? In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away. Seize the present; trust tomorrow e'en as little as you may.
