We need a good message/RPC system, basically, for quite a few

Something like OSC but a bit more flexible (or just OSC itself is an
option as well).
dbus ?
No, I just mean a message format for sending to plugins / UIs / etc,
not
a system level thing.
Think OSC, or messages in pd/Max,
json is great.
never thought of using it, but using json is a good idea if (it ends up
fitting with whatever abstract data model we need, anyway). Syntax(es)
should be independent of the actual spec though, IMO.
If you need binary rpc then take a look at bert.
They
could be good mediums for simple language-neutral data exchange.
this is interesting, I hadn't seen this before. many of the lengths are
only two bytes though, which is a bit of a severe limitation
I'll think about how this can all mesh together...
