And in fact, it adopts both benefits of intuitiveness of direct manipulation on GUI and abstractness of programming language.\n\nGlisp literally uses a customized dialect of Lisp as a project file. As the [Code as Data](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_as_data) concept of Lisp, the project file itself is the program to generate an output at the same time as a tree structure representing SVG-like list of shapes. And even the large part of the app's built-in features are implemented by the identical syntax to project files. By this nature so-called [homoiconicity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homoiconicity), artists can dramatically hack the app and transform it into any tool which can be specialized in various realms of graphics -- daily graphic design, illustration, generative art, drawing flow-chart, or whatever they want. I call such a design concept \"purpose-agnostic\". Compared to the most of existing design tools that are strictly optimized for a concrete genre of graphics such as printing or UI of smartphone apps, I believe the attitude that developers intentionally keep being agnostic on how a tool should be used by designers makes it further powerful.\n\nDeveloped by [Baku Hashimoto](https://baku89.com)\n\n## Features list I've been fantasizing\n\n✨: High priority  \n🍡: Personally think it'd be cool  \n🌶️: Important but I have no clue how to do\n\n- [ ] UI enhancements\n  - [ ] ✨Selects path/group by clicking viewport\n  - [ ] ✨Transplants [Programmable Pen Tool](https://s.baku89.com/pentool/animation)\n  - [ ] Touch-screen support\n  - [ ] Much more intuitive interface for designers I prototyped [here](http://ui.baku89.com/)\n- [ ] Improve the GUI to allow non-programmers edit the project without seeing any Lisp code\n  - [ ] ✨Layer list view\n- [ ] Lisp interpreter optimization/enhancement\n  - [ ] 🌶️ Incremental evaluation system to avoid the overhead by re-calculating entire project for each tweak\n  - [ ] [Incremental Lisp parser](https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01887230/document)\n  - [ ] 🌶️ Enables to refer other node's value by relative path without explicitly defining a symbol, like Houdini's `ch(\"../transform/tx\")` expression\n  - [ ] Headless REPL environment to render images by command (partially supported)\n  - [ ] Standalone JS library to dynamically render the sketch embedded in a web page\n- [ ] Timeline features\n  - [ ] Video exporter\n  - [ ] AE-like layer view and curve editor\n  - [ ] 🍡 [Velocity/acceleration based easing editor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aBBHjqAc4Y)\n- [ ] Raster image manipulation\n  - [ ] Writes custom filters in GLSL ([Interactive Shader Format](https://editor.isf.video/) might be useful)\n  - [ ] 🍡 Captures still image from video input (e.g. webcam) to make a stop-motion\n- [ ] Abstraction of user inputs\n  - [ ] Not only mice and keyboards, add support to bind commands with any controller's inputs via OSC/MIDI on the fly while you design. The notion \"remembering hotkeys\" will be vanished.\n  - [ ] 🍡 Wouldn't it be cool if we can even use Leap Motion to record an animation...?\n  - [ ] Input hooks. Quantizing, copying, flipping, and smoothing the mouse coordinate for instances.\n\n## Helpful Repositories\n\n- The implementation of Lisp interpreter is the modified version of [Make a Lisp project](https://github.com/kanaka/mal).\n- Boolean Operator and some bezier manipulations by [Paper.js](http://paperjs.org/).\n- Bezier curve analyzation by [Bezier.js](https://pomax.github.io/bezierjs/)\n\n## Similar and Inspirational Projects\n\nBelow are all cool projects I've deeply inspired by.\n\n- Programming-oriented Drawing Apps\n\n  - [Para](http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~jacobsj/para/) and [Dynamic Brush](http://jenniferjacobs.mat.ucsb.edu/#db) by [Jeninifer Jacobs](http://jenniferjacobs.mat.ucsb.edu/)\n  - [Sketch-n-Sketch](https://ravichugh.github.io/sketch-n-sketch/)\n\n- Lisp-based Creative Coding Toolkits\n\n  - [Ronin](https://100r.co/site/ronin.html) by [Hundred Rabitts](https://100r.co/)\n  - [Quil](http://www.quil.info/)\n  - [snek](https://github.com/inconvergent/snek) by [Anders Hoff](https://inconvergent.net/)\n\n- Past researches, products, and plugin-ins for generative design\n\n  - [Autoshop](http://www.signwave.co.uk/go/products/autoshop)\n  - [Auto-Illustrator](http://swai.signwave.co.uk/)\n  - [Scriptographer](https://scriptographer.org/) and [Paper.js](http://paperjs.org/) by [Jürg Lehni](http://juerglehni.com/)\n\nInformation by [Tomoya Matsuura](https://twitter.com/tomoya_nonymous/status/1255647212580646912?s=20) and [Yasuhiro Tsuchiya](http://www.cbc-net.com/dots/yasuhiro_tsuchiya/tsuchiya_02/)\n\n## Supporters\n\nThis projects are supported by these kindful people.
