[LAU] Mono suitable for creating LAU applications?

[Justin Smith]

As far as higher level apps are concerned, Ocaml has libraries
available for jack, alsa, and ladspa. It is garbage collected but much
faster than most other garbage collected languages. I have not tried
these libs, but they may be worth checking out. When I code an audio
app, I usually start with a prototype in PD (galan, ingen, or maybe
even ams would probably work too, but PD is more like a programming
language), then I translate the logic of the PD patch into C. If you
know your patch well enough, the translation is trivial. Since I am OK
with using PD's license, I can even peek at the C source of PD if I am
having trouble translating some built in PD object for my algorithm
(for example their optimized 4 point interpolation algorithm is
something I would not have discovered on my own).
