I announced Confetti over one year ago and a lot has happened since then.

More Implementations#

I wrote the reference implementation of Confetti in the C programming language. I chose C mainly because it’s the lingua franca of programming languages, and most languages provide a C FFI or a dedicated API for wrapping C libraries.

While it is possible to use the C implementation of Confetti from other programming languages, various members of the open source community have written their own native implementations in other languages. I want to give a shout-out to these authors now.

• pyconfetti (for Python) by bobuk
• jconfetti (for Java) by welandaz
• confetti-rs (for Rust) by shkmv
• confetti (for Go) by demen1n

Thank you so much for your interest in Confetti and taking the time to author these implementations. I’ve linked them from the homepage of the Confetti website.

Shoutout on Radio-T#

I was informed by demen1n, the author of the Go implementation of Confetti, that Confetti was mentioned on Radio-T. Radio-T is a popular, long-running Russian-language tech podcast covering gadgets and software development. One of the hosts, Bobuk (author of pyconfetti), mentioned Confetti.

Future Plans#

I released Confetti with zero expectations. The attention it’s received is humbling.

I’ve been hosting the Confetti website as a subdomain of my personal website, but given the continued attention, it might be time to graduate Confetti to its own dedicated domain.
