Except that someone else could answer while you are waiting.

Lua is a great language. I personally would rather go the other way and use Lua instead of JS in the browser. This is cool though from a hacking perspective. Good work.

This package looks really nice, but it doesn't look like it has the ability to record. Anyone know of a package like this that helps with live processing of recorded audio?

Not so. The article states that 431 out of the 617 non-multitasking apps have explicitly disabled multitasking. Perhaps they have no use for multitasking and would prefer to reset the application state each time the app has launched.

I fundamentally disagree. The purpose of currency is to facilitate efficient trade. It is dangerous when currency is seen as an appreciating asset (deflation) as this will encourage hoarding (speculation) and discourage spending and investi
