Minimal C++ library with Lua bindings and console. Write your LV2 plugins and gui's in C++ or Lua!
API's will break from time to time until the core system is ready. Plugin/UI templates are largely unchanged.
It's the widgets and host libraries which will see the most refactoring

Base for all widgets |
