I'll have to take a look at the article, but Gibber is a really
well-done JS library for music making as far as I've looked at.

ScriptProcessorNode is already deprecated and it sounds like it is
going to get removed altogether.  Granted, it has flaws in its design,
but removing it seems like it'll break lots of libraries out there.  I
guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

The WebAudio folks are still coming up with specifications for
AudioWorker; the basics are there to do audio-thread computation with
JS code, but I don't know if it'll be possible to do node creation
from within an AudioWorker (last I checked there was no way to access
AudioContext from an AudioWorker; there's reason for not allowing
that, but also ramifications in limiting what can be implemented then
in terms of event processing).  If you follow the public-audio mailing
list, you'll find that spec is still in flux.  (Also can follow github
issues for the webaudio spec). Another thing to wait and see.
