i have my own vst3 host. it's not really that difficult. the real problem is that theres a lot of plugins that do some random thing that wont work becasue it's not standard.

it's not racism. sure chinese could develope all these things on their own. but you need to realize, they'd have to produces the machines that produces the machines that produce the machines... first. all this 'high tech' stuff is _really_ hrd to make. it would take a ton of money invested to even get to current tech levels. and tech advances pretty fast.

compare it to the space program. that didn't really have any directly useable goal. but the technology produced in the process is used everywhere. DT fusion may or may not work. maybe the problems may get solved some day, maybe not. we'll never know if we don't try. and the technology we get in the process is valueable regardless.

Write shitty code 5 years ago

the best way to write code is: write code that you can delete without any effects on the rest of the program. and keep all related code as close as possible together in the source code. Also keep mutations as far up the call stack as possible. use pure functions whereever possible.
