Oh sweet. Reminds me of writing an audio editor in matlab.

Or writing a maze solver using prolog.

Hey, you asked for powerful, not easy. I do not know of any 'make it sound like all the crap on the radio with no real effort' type software for Linux. It can also be built to use Ruby for the extension language if you'd prefer that, I actually like LISP.

Sorry, I rarely ever use sarcasm. That was sincerity. It looks cool.

I gotta ask, do you know of any big production sites that use Ruby or the Rails framework? Hah. I know, there are, yet they are rare.

I like the LISP extension idea as you could probably mathematically prove the behavior of your DSP algorithms. I can only imagine how ugly the proofs would be, yet easy recursion and lists would eat this shit up in LISP land.

One more month!

I am using it right now, for the first time, on my mum's brand spanking new, delivered today computer.

Seems completely superfluous and not very intuitive....

NOT CRAP I guess, although I don't understand all this geeky stuff

Vista blows and a makeover/name change to Windows 7 is unlikely to change that.

I'll milk XP for another year or so, but after that I'm done with M$.

Its time to stop whining and start WINEing.

The Wine team is proud to announce that Wine 1.0 is now available.
This is the first stable release of Wine after 15 years of development
and beta testing. Many thanks to everybody who helped us along that
long road!

Also in case anyone cares, its possible to get all of the interface/graphic improvements of Vista in XP using Stardock Windowblinds, but with much less of a performance hit.
