Too often with projects in other languages I look at the code base and feel like I'm lost in a maze of tiny files, all alike with nothing to orient against. I'm sure one could write C/C++ like that, but why would you?
The more I do it, the more I like C++ as a language for doing server side web stuff. Is there something wrong with me? It's just really nice to be able to go back to a project after spending some time away from it and be able to read the code, follow the control flow, and figure out what I want to work on next.

Since doing this video I've made some changes that make this workable even with pretty awful quality hardware and even better with low noise/high resolution data acquisition devices.
It's nice that markdown links to related videos in the description seems to work. Rate of change calculations are the sort of thing where how you choose to do that calculation can greatly impact usability of the feature. Most programs do a horrible job at it and I don't understand why they don't take advantage of the fact that Typica is released under the MIT license and just steal/adapt my implementation.

Hardware simulation is sort of a crazy feature to have, but less crazy than the motivation for the feature that's a side effect of: the ability to write communications protocol handlers for devices that look like serial ports in Javascript. It's always better to just write a new hardware support class in C++ and upstream the patch, but as awful as it sounds, script devices can work surprisingly well.
