Ah, yes, Faust it was then, thanks.
The lack of a proper session management system is the biggest problem I
see atm..
Making plug-ins in multiple formats easily without having to learn the
plug-in APIs is a good thing in general. Less APIs to learn means more
time and effort can be put into the code that matters.

Isn't one of those languages already able to spit out various
plug-in formats and/or at least C code? Was it csound,
supercollider or chuck?
I guess you refer to Faust which can generate several formats and
plugins
http://faust.grame.fr/
There is also csLadspa which converts csound patches to Ladspa
plugins.
But actually you guys lost me a bit, what is so important about the
plugin paradigma? The only benefit I can see is total recall but
apart from it I see no use over using stand alone applications. The
plugin idea comes from closed source environment which doesnt allow
to make interapplication connection like you can do now and here with
Jack and Alsamidi.
