Perry and I are doing this with ChucK.
http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/
ChucK runs on a VM with special virtual instructions (many for dealing
with time),
and is type-checked and compiled down to these instructions. In this
respect,
it is like Java. However, it also supports truly precise audio timing
and also
the ability to swap sub-processes (shreds) in and out of the VM. It
has complete
control over scheduling (shreduling) as well as the instructions. We
are working
on something now which can replace sections of virtual ChucK
instructions at
runtime. This is a VM designed for precise audio programming,
on-the-fly.
Check it out and fire it up!
Best,
Ge!
