Vessel/Lua seems very nice, but it doesn't seem to offer sample by sample processing. And even if it did, it would be terrible slow. Faust or snd-rt are better options for doing those kind of tasks. > (It may have not enough parenthesis for your taste. ;) > Yeah. :-) It amazes me, though, that people use s-expression as an argument against languages. Even people with phd in computer science seems to think that s-expression is a valid argument against using a language. If they have spent 30 years of programming, how hard can it be then to use a couple of weeks getting used to s-expressions?

I thought SAL was just a synactical frontend for scheme and common lisp? _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
