Hi there.
Thanks to everyone who responded to the request about high level
languages for audio work.
I made a wikipage to order your input and my findings.

It definitely looks like Faust is the most serious contender for
writing LADSPA plugins. It seems to be actively maintained and well
documented. It claims to be able to generate different types of
plugins/applications from the same code. I'll print the tutorial and
read it over the weekend.
I suggest that you rewrite the comment about snd. Writing "lispish, yuck"
doesn't give you much credit as someone worth listening to.
Also, for many other really good alternatives, like csound and
supercollider, you have just written "naa". I suggest that you do some
more research as well...
