C++ (with the STL) has some pretty darn useful list functions. It's not as
low level and sucked down as you seem to think....
Personally, I'd rather have that 90% of Ardour be nice and quick. I don't
care what anyone says, GUIs written in scripting language are noticably slower
than GUIs written in a compiled language like C or C++.
