Steve:
I think this is a worthwhile topic actually... There is currently a shortage of interest in developing good alternative NATIVE machine-language-compiled languages. Although I have been programming C/C++ for a long time, I have lately been getting into Python and I really like it... Really, there's no REAL reason we can't use other languages for writing audio stuff,
I completely agree with you. And thats why I use SND for almost anything: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/
