Yes. And what motivated Faust when other approaches offering similar ideas
existed. Because, for example, a lot of the work on macros revisits issues
solved in common lisp's macro system.

Continuing from #lac2010:
..............
(08:31:53 AM) npm: sounds like the common lisp macro system:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Lisp#Variable_capture_and_shadowing
(08:34:41 AM) sampo_v2: sure. this is term rewriting for faust
(08:37:30 AM) npm: but the ideas are the same -- the only diff is where the
parantheses are
(08:41:39 AM) npm: clapclapclap
(08:47:05 AM) torbenh4: and that faust is by some magnitude faster than
almost anything else.
(08:47:18 AM) torbenh4: except C++ :>
.............

At the same time, who can argue with working C/C++ code. For example, I use
your code all the time. Chris, and I'm very thankful it's in pure C/C++
 (and it's very awesome and fast... results so far... using a combination of
vamp-plugins, groovy&apache-velocity&javascript&flash via xwiki java-based
platform http://nielsmayer.com/ts-episode-timeline.png

N.b: Seen in http://frinika.appspot.com/ readme:

java -Xmx256m -Xincgc -jar frinika.jar

java -jar -Xmx512m -XX:+UseParNewGC frinika.jar

(please report if you find this helps).

For jack using java 1.6 you need to add -Xss20m to increase the stack size
