 # Introduction
 
-This paper introduces Strudel (or sometimes 'StrudelCycles'), an alternative implementation of the Tidal (or 'TidalCycles') live coding system, using the JavaScript programming language. Strudel is an attempt to make live coding more accessible, by creating a system that runs entirely in the browser, while opening Tidal's approach to algorithmic patterns [@algorithmicpattern] up to modern audio/visual web technologies. The Strudel REPL is a live code editor dedicated to manipulating strudel patterns while they play, with builtin visual feedback. While Strudel is written in JavaScript, the API is optimized for simplicity and readability by applying code transformations on the syntax tree level, allowing language operations that would otherwise be impossible. The application supports multiple ways to output sound, including Tone.js, Web Audio nodes, OSC (Open Sound Control) messages, Web Serial and Web MIDI. The project is split into multiple packages, allowing granular reuse in other applications. Apart from TidalCycles, Strudel draws inspiration from prior projects like TidalVortex [@tidalvortex], Gibber [@gibber], Estuary [@estuary] and Feedforward [@feedforward].
