Hi Jules, I posted this here; I'm so eager about your project moving forward ! Is there going to be a marketplace for professional SOUL-based VST plugins ? A way to browse all open source SOUL scripts and share modules so that the community will be able to build on top of previous scripts (without copy pasting all the time) ? Will all SOUL scripts be runnable in the browser like Shadertoy.com, if no what will be the separate features between web / desktop / hardware ? How are you going to handle the diversity of situation where one could use SOUL ? Thanks (-: Side note : http://soul.dev/ http://soul.dev/ doesn't have https ?

Our long-term goal with plugins is to make them much easier to write in SOUL without needing to actually compile anything natively.. as for a marketplace to deliver them, we'd certainly love to be able to offer one of those, and will see how things go. Yep, we'd love to make soul.dev into a place where you can browse snippets of code, search for people's implementations of various DSP algorithms and try them out and put them together - that's all definitely in the plan! And as far as cross-platform-ness goes, I don't currently foresee a situation where any SOUL code wouldn't run on all platforms.. Running it as WASM in a browser may not be particularly quick compared to the same code running via LLVM JIT or on a DSP, but it should still work. (And yes... soul.dev certainly uses HTTPS.. maybe whoever posted this story typed it without that)

  Thanks for the reply. Suggestion for the name of the marketplace or community : "Soulfly" sounds good (and probably need to separate it from the "infrastructure" / dev project ?)

    Well, we also have this URL: https://audio.dev https://audio.dev :)

      so this is gonna seem kinda weird, but I noticed y'all run the audio developers conference. I own the domain adc.io, for a project that went nowhere years ago, so now I mostly use it for some personal things. would you guys be interested in doing a trade or want to buy it or something? I feel kinda trashy asking that here since it doesn't add to the discussion, but I like what y'all are doing, and didn't even know that conference existed until I clicked that link.

        thanks for the offer but I think we're a bit overloaded with URLs right now!

  > Our long-term goal with plugins is to make them much easier to write in SOUL without needing to actually compile anything natively could you offer to compile/package SOUL code into a VST as a service?
  - julesrms 8y ago
    Yes, we already have a prototype C++ generator as a command-line tool, so mixing that with some boilerplate to build a plugin will be something we do soon. And yes, the same thing would also work nicely if hosted as a web-service

      To LV2 also would be awesome if possible!
