Albert Graef:
assembler for the low-level stuff. (Not sure about snd, does it compile to native code which can execute in realtime?)
Yes, the realtime extension that I wrote compiles a scheme-like language into hard realtime-safe c code, which can be run and scheduled while snd is running. Its not optimizing as much as faust, but mostly its not significantly slower than hand-written C either. Sometimes it can even be faster. Its a practical language to get real things done because it blends into guile scheme and common lisp music so that everything is in the same source and communicates with each other. Its possible to implement things like ardour or supercollider in snd if anyone want to do that (although they have to fix some of the many bugs first :-) ).
