Guides

Long-form, task-oriented walkthroughs for individual spices. See the full guide index for sidebar navigation.

Guide	Summary
ANSI Terminal Control	Colors, cursor movement, raw-mode input, box drawing, and inline images -- a lightweight ncurses alternative
Conflict-Free Replicated Data Types	Convergent data types for offline-first and peer-to-peer state -- counters, sets, registers, maps, and sequences that merge without coordination
tur-ecs cross-world systems guide	This guide covers the cross-world ECS surface: a single system that reads from one typed world and writes to another, with the scheduler proving non-conflict per (world, component) pair.
Dataframe Guide	Apache Arrow-compatible columnar in-memory format.
HTML Parsing	WHATWG HTML parsing with tur-html -- documents and fragments into the shared dom-core tree, the tree's shape, the depth cap, tokenizer-level events, and why parsing is not sanitizing
tur-linalg Guide	Dense float linear algebra for Turmeric.
Vector and Matrix Math	2D/3D vectors, 4x4 transform matrices, quaternions with slerp, and scalar helpers -- pure Turmeric, no C deps
MessagePack Binary Serialization	Typeclass-driven binary serialization -- encode/decode/derive macros for structs, opaques, and sums, with an accumulating validator for untrusted input
Scalability Protocols with nng	Request/reply, pub/sub, pipeline, pair, bus, and survey messaging over inproc, ipc, tcp, and ws (WebSocket, browser peers included) -- blocking calls over a linear socket handle, poll fds for event loops, completion-based async (nng/aio), and per-conversation contexts (nng/ctx)
Notebook Guide	Literate `.tur.md` notebooks with a static renderer and an interactive terminal TUI.
Modern OpenGL with GLFW and GLAD	OpenGL 3.3 Core bindings -- window creation, vertex arrays, buffers, shaders, textures, draw calls, and input, with linear GPU handles
2D Vector Graphics Guide	Audience: Turmeric users who want off-screen 2D rendering (PNG/JPEG output, SVG-shape rasterisation, text composition).
Probabilistic Data Structures	Bloom and Cuckoo filters, HyperLogLog, Count-Min Sketch, Top-K and t-digest -- answer "seen it?", "how many?", "how often?" and "what's the p99?" over a stream in fixed memory, with merge for sharded data
Raylib Graphics and Input	Windows, shapes, text, textures, audio, camera, and input -- the full small-game stack with raylib 5.5
scscm to SuperCollider	Compile scscm, a Scheme-like syntax for SuperCollider, to sclang with tur-scscm, then run it on scsynth or hypercollider's hcsynth -- live or rendered to a WAV
Secrets and Crypto Hygiene	Linear key material with tur-secret -- a wipe the optimizer cannot delete, an OS CSPRNG, constant-time comparison, and a Secret type whose destructor the compiler enforces
Session Guide (tur-tourist-session)	This guide shows how to add server-side sessions to a `tur-tourist` app with `tur-tourist-session`: a cookie + a pluggable store, modelled on Rack's session middleware.
Signal Processing with Typed Signal Functions	Oscillators (LFO, band-limited, FM and PM), one-pole, biquad, state-variable and ladder filters, delays and combs, colored noise, sample buffers and scanning with nearest/linear/cubic/sinc interpolation, MIDI note/Hz conversion and sequencing, Scala .scl/.kbm tunings, shapers, ADSR envelopes, and SF-pipeline composition -- a typed Signal/SF abstraction for building audio DSP graphs
String Templating Engine	ERB/EJS-style string templating -- interpolation, conditionals, loops, and local bindings for server-side HTML generation
Valkey and Redis Client	Connect, run commands, walk reply trees, and subscribe to pub/sub -- a linear Client handle over hiredis, speaking the RESP protocol
Filesystem Watcher Guide	cross-platform filesystem watcher (Linux inotify, Darwin kqueue) with debounce + coalescing for CLI tools.
WebSocket Client Guide	`tur-ws-client` is the client half of RFC 6455.
WebSocket Server Guide	`tur-ws-server` is the server half of RFC 6455.
XML Parsing (SAX and DOM)	Streaming SAX and in-memory DOM parsing of XML with tur-xml -- choosing between them, the shared node API, push parsing, namespaces, errors, and the safe defaults for untrusted input
