Yes, I'd also be interested in more detail on that subject (being a musician and having dont some VST programming in my time).
To re-clarify: I never worked on VSTs (or any kind of audio processing, officially) so I can't comment on these, but I can comment on interpreting/processing musical scores and driving audio from these.
I think it would be very helpful if you can be just a little more
specific, in describing what you'd use std::hive for, what the access
patterns
are, how it would be used in playback from a score. There are some
musicians in the committee, it might ring some bells for them
as a very plausible practical use case. We have a person in the
committee who has apparently written his own music score application,
so who knows, it might ring some serious bells.
I lack time to properly describe that right now, but I am considering redacting (in the coming weeks) an explanation of the general pattern(s) I'm seeing in the different domains that hive can help with and then point to the specific cases I have seen.
Would that help?
