I remember asking you about this a couple years ago and you said

And, is all the sfront / saol action happening somewhere
that I'm not aware of? I was always disappointed that there
didn't seem to be a lively community around saol.
Yes, me too, I wrote some code in sfront and liked it, I even went as far
as figuring out what needed to be done to remove the globals that
prevented you from running more that one plugin at once, but never did the
coding.

There are,
of course, languages like SuperCollider and CSound, which
ARE made for expressing audio algorithms. However, again they are
generally interpreted.
Sfront compiles a high-level music language (Structured Audio) to C,
and there's no reason in theory that audio drivers couldn't be written
for LADSPA.
