Question:
On the programming side, what makes reaper so resource friendly, and lightweight, compared to other DAWs ? Is it the lack of addons (plugins etc...) or your practice uses algorithms, technology and resources that are less cpu expensive?

I have a feeling it may have to do with it be being a very optimized piece of software. While I am not a developer myself of Reaper. Coming from a developer perspective and software engineering in general. I am very confident that Reaper is heavily tested and refactored in order to meet efficiency margins. But again, that's my speculation. But regardless, Reaper is a very solid piece of software.
