I used lush years ago for some algorithmic image generation. I
remember having some complaints about the incompatible compilable and
non-compilable languages that are embeddable in the same source file,
but I was less skilled a programmer then. I think I may try making
some lush jack bindings this weekend, just to see how it works out,
because jack is a tiny api and lush hits a sweet spot for me in a few
ways, being a lisp, easy to use at a low level, compilable to shared
libraries and able to use c shared libraries with little trouble. A
lush library for generating LV2, LADSPA, or DSSI would be interesting,
as well.
