> (Guile? Why not use Scheme?) Guile is an implementation of Scheme. > Why use Guile and Ruby for scripting languages? Why not Perl or PHP? Ruby is (I'm told) very similar to Perl. There are lot of other choices -- Python for example shouldn't be too hard. There's a small quibble that I'm using Guile/Ruby as an extension (or embedded) language, not (primarily) for scripting. I've split the embedded language support out from Snd as a whole, so it's (say) a few days work to add another language -- about 100 macros and a half dozen procedures, mostly to make sure errors are handled with aplomb. > Did you forget about QT? No, but it doesn't seem worth the effort -- adding another GUI possibility is a lot of tedious work (about 2 months all told for Gtk). I also looked at Fox. > Also being able to open any > file just by specifying bit depth, sample rate, etc. is useful I'm not sure I understand -- could you send me more info about this?
