Why do we need this?

Processing has wrapped a language with a lot
*less* power than
SuperCollider in a front end that is much easier to learn. Its a shame.
But it also seems to be way the world works.
So we would rather have a *more* powerful language wrapped in a front
end that is very difficult to learn? We already have that in spades, and
it's proven a good way to scare off people with good ideas who are not
skilled in coding enough (or patient enough) to get the most basic tasks
to work.
What we need is a nice and powerful back-end that is wrapped in an
easy-to-learn front end. The best of both worlds, if it's possible.
