Question: Did you intentionally name JS to share initials with JavaScript? I'm forever seeing people conflate the two. Seems like a bit of an oversight in terms of communication clarity.

no it was not intentional, it's called JSFX but should've used JSFX: in the FX browser but that's too long I guess so laziness prevailed. And I guess JSFX would still be confusing. But that's the way it goes! Technically JavaScript is actual ECMAScript anyway? And I guess JSFX is EEL2.

Ah ok, I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a troll. ("JesusSonic" is pretty freakin absurd for what is a legit DSP platform).

Also JS-wise, there's js_ReaScriptAPI which I assumed for a long time was a way to access the Reaper API through JSFX. But I guess all that matters in the end is functionality, and in that way JSFX is awesome.

I see you have a big problem. :) forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=212174JS API is called like that, because JulianSader.

Yeah, I figured that out eventually. Probably should have immediately since the js is lowercase.

making things confusingly named is sort of an art really
