As others have also noted, adress isolation is god sent. Whatever you do, unless jack crashes, almost nothing can bring your application down (a mild overstatement perhaps *). This is a _major_ feature. I also think that jack apps should be easier to design and program as opposed to plugin-centric solutions. The boundaries are dictated by the operating system, not by the plugin-architecture. In my mind jack ought to have much better long-term viability than an in-proc plugin-system. Today you can probably wring out more precious clock cycles from an in-proc system since the overhead isn't as big. But in a few years (or already now!) the overhead for this is easily traded for the added benefits. /Robert * Jack does add a few critera of it's own, can you say ZOMBIE ? ;) But this is a necessity with an in-proc system also.
