 ====== On audio languages, and why I prefer compilers ======
-In my first article, I introduced the notion of "audio kit" as a generalization of the spirit of the AudioKit project, and discussed how AudioKit has failed to live up to that spirit in practice.
+This was going to be an article about Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) for audio, why AudioKit needs one for "scripting" the way DSP components go together, and why I believe it should be compiled rather than interpreted.
-Here I want to talk a bit about software synthesis systems in general, why it's risky to create yet another one, and talk a bit about languages, interpreters and compilers.
+This morning I had a look at the state of [[https://github.com/soul-lang/SOUL|SOUL]], and realized that Julian is already way ahead of us. I venture to suggest: there are no other choices. We should just use SOUL.
-===== Software audio synthesis systems =====

-Wikipedia has a useful overview article about [[wp>Comparison_of_audio_synthesis_environments|software audio synthesis "environments"]], which it defines as "an **audio programming language** (which may be graphical) and a **user environment** to design/run the language in" (emphasis added).
