Elementary Audio: a modern platform for writing high performance audio software
Maybe I&#x27;m missing something from my quick read, but the idea of using this for plugins seems like a real misfire. I&#x27;m curious whether the devs come from the pro audio world at all. It&#x27;s one area where prioritizing for development time by using high level garbage collected languages just isn&#x27;t done because your user is <i>always</i> concerned with how many instances they can run and what the lowest latency they can get is, and that latency constraint is going to be applied across your entire system. So if there is one plugin that hoses the latency by needing a time slice big enough to run a GC in the audio dsp routine, pro audio buyers won&#x27;t touch it.<p>It looks like a nice way to do interactive web audio work, but plugins are a different beast all together. If you want a place where old school skating-with-razor-blades pointer coding is still common practice, it&#x27;s DSP code.
