SuperCollider's audio synthesis engine, scsynth, now runs directly in web browsers via an AudioWorklet, requiring no installation. This allows real-time audio programming and synthesis through a web interface using the native OSC API.

Why it matters: Enables powerful audio synthesis in browsers without installing software, lowering access barriers for musicians and developers.

The big picture: Combines WebAssembly and AudioWorklet to bring a professional audio engine to creative coding and web audio communities.

Quick takeaway: Users can load synth definitions, send OSC commands, and schedule audio events all from a browser environment.

Commenters say: Many appreciate the zero-install convenience and real-time capabilities, while some discuss integration challenges and browser compatibility nuances.
