However--some people may want to write algorithmic or otherwise
computer generated compositions, not streamed but generated live on
the client end. It's a platform for performance (see for example,
WebPd), in its current form bearing a resemblance to IT porn.

Fons, you know what? the Faust zita-rev1 version
(still old
one of course..) now even runs in the web, automagically compiled
in asm.js (http://asmjs.org) using latest faust2 git version
and running at acceptable speed in recent browsers like Firefox
or Chrome (still some issues here…) :
And what's the point of running a concert hall reverb in a web
browser ? Providing a new 'business model' for audio engineering ?
With some advertising around it and Google reaping the benifits
and diverting them to some low tax island inhabitated by the
stinking rich and their imported household slaves ? If that is
the future of open source software, I'll step out. Or is it some
form of masturbation for IT engineers who have nothing better to
do ? Or are they too stupid to grok what's going on ?
Ciao,
