Question: What are the odds of a GUID lightning strike, the random song acting goofy because the lotterylike odds of generatingan already used GUID happens? Given how daw use has exploded, do those chances increase?
Asked by PunkyBrewster (76.226.119.x) on October 4 2015, 10:40pm
Reply on October 5 2015, 12:40am:
    Incredibly unlikely, and as it is now there are occasional bugs that surface where GUIDs collide anyway, usually it goes unnoticed...

Question: Did you ever want to code something but failed ? If so, what ?
Asked by randomfish (87.143.201.x) on October 1 2015, 11:13pm
Reply on October 4 2015, 4:07am:
    I posit that there are two ways one fails at coding: having insufficient time, or having insufficient will. I've failed in both ways more times than I can count!

Question: Will it be possible to write custom video sources in REAPER (the same way we can code custom PCM_sources now)? That would open up lots of possibilities, e.g. for visualization.
Asked by helgoboss (92.208.66.x) on September 26 2015, 11:23am
Reply on September 27 2015, 4:10pm:
    That would be nice! We'd have to keep in mind that they are not necessarily realtime generated, but extensively cached...

Question: Did Ruby enter into the conversation when it came to adding more scripting languages? How do you feel about that language in general?
Asked by Punky Brewster (76.226.51.x) on September 21 2015, 4:05pm
Reply on September 22 2015, 1:29pm:
    It didn't. I don't know much about Ruby, is it designed to be integrated into other applications? Lua really does a good job at that...
