As far as DSLs go, Supercollider uses OSC internally. Csound and Pd both support it, too. Don't know about Chuck, but I'd imagine it either does or it's high on the to-do list. > IMNSHO regarding your subject question, I'll would start with MIDI as > everything else does; e.g., alsa-seq API is a pretty high level You mean it's historical then? ;) > abstraction and you'll hardly notice that MIDI 80s byteness ;) Then, some > way down after, whenever you feel MIDI control space is exhausted, you can > add OSC for an extension or even substitution. IMVHO, I think this is a little bit backwards (no pun intended) - if the API design is limited to MIDI it won't be easy to open it up further but built with OSC in mind you can expose a subset of it as MIDI. The only disadvantage (and it is a real one) OSC has is lack of adoption. I wouldn't recommend choosing MIDI simply because all the other kids have it and anyway it's not as bad as it used to be :P
