I started this about 9 years ago and never finished it. The idea comes from a course in my telecom degree called "Señales Aleatorias y Ruido" (Random Signals and Noise), I spent so many evenings writing probability by hand, and every time I wanted to check a result with a computer it was a ton of boilerplate.

The engine is Rust, the JIT is built on Cranelift, there is also a WASM backend so everything runs in the browser too.

Full disclosure, I could only finish it now because of AI agents. In my experience they are amazing at the runtime and the numerical code, but pretty bad at language design, so I kept that part for myself.

It's a toy language. Ask me anything!

Definitely going to play around with this, thanks for posting.

I know MCMC isn’t your goal, but seems like this could be used for ABC-MCMC (as is?)

Would also be nice to have an option to plot using a KDE vs histograms.

(Also your FM example seems to be technically PM)

		oh! that is very interesting. I was not aware of I could simulate markov chains with Approximate Bayesian, I have some good reading to do this weekend! indeed, expressions like P(D == 8 \| D > 3) are already natively supported: https://noiselang.com/play/#x=conditional_bayes Fair! My thinking was that PM of a single tone signal (the one i use in the demo is equivalent to FM, but shifted a bit). And implementing real FM for decoding is a lot more noisy, but I will add some callout in the article. Truth be told, you motivated me to write the exact FM with the differenciation, maybe. Could be interesting to simulate PM vs FM for non single tone signals, to see how FM does even better!

Be warned - by using AI like this you've made yourself a lightning rod for the people who really really really dislike AI.

		I know haha I wanted to be transparent about this, I have been coding since 9 years old, 32 years old now. I have nothing to prove other than it would have been impossible for me find time to complete this project without help, also a Toy language. Not trying to replace anything people use today :) it's a cute project
