Writing a VST in any language that doesn't compile to native code and allow pretty fine-grained control of memory management and reliable realtime response is a waste of time.

Writing Java & Python code puts the bread on my table but I know their limitations well enough to know when they're not appropriate.

Easy tiger, only joking around! Although i understand why you might be pissed off having to write python code for a living

Its all good. i currently write ASP a lot. It sucks. But such is life

Ok, I was taking the piss, hence the

Python sucks. I'd much rather be using ruby. Oh well.

I'm not saying that you can't write a VST in java at all. I'm saying it will suck.

Ahh, Ruby! There's a gem of a language. If anobody is interested in an elegant, object oriented scripting lanugage, do yourselves a favour and check out the Ruby Central.

Couldnt tell you. GCC has had a lot of optimisation over the years so it aint half bad. How much of that carries into GCJ I couldnt tell you.

But it is cross-platform.

Java VST development?
