Oh noes! There it happened ;) If that's the case I can as well start on the NeXTStep port...

Dubstep is old news. *Monkstep* is where it's at.

Monkstep? Pfft... Folkstep is the way forward. ;-)

Perhaps this is the last word on the dubstep issue :-)

Someone should port to D.  In fact that's one thing I'd definitely would like to start a case for - using D in audio processing (eg: effects, synths :-)

I always knew one day I'd see DSP done in JS, and there it is! I'm torn - on one had it's an affront to good software engineering, but OTOH, it's so damn cool in a "high-precision PI in DOS batch" sort of way :)

Me too. Unfortunately the whole pro-audio plugin industry is completely wrapped around steinbergs little finger, doing everything as VSTs in c++.

Perhaps you haven't heard of LV2? http://lv2plug.in/

It looks OK, but VST has an almost complete stranglehold (with the exception of AU on OS-X I suppose). Linux and open source have really failed to make much of an impact in the world of audio. Almost all the pros are on OSX/Windows with £500+ DAWs* and thousands of pounds of closed source VST plugins. A large proportion of free VSTs aren't even open source.

*The notable exception being Reaper, which is very affordable and quite widely used these days.
