I used lush years ago for some algorithmic image generation. I

remember having some complaints about the incompatible compilable and

non-compilable languages that are embeddable  in the same source file,

but I was less skilled a programmer then. I think I may try making

some lush jack bindings this weekend, just to see how it works out,

because jack is a tiny api and lush hits a sweet spot for me in a few

ways, being a lisp, easy to use at a low level, compilable to shared

libraries and able to use c shared libraries with little trouble. A

lush library for generating LV2, LADSPA, or DSSI would be interesting,

as well.
