The API is there and you can access it through
C, C++, Java, Python, Tcl, Lisp and Lua.

Documentation is something that needs to be tackled.
At the moment, the best way is to read csound.h,
there is some good info there.

As for the future of Csound, I will read Mikes ideas
with interest. I have a few of my own:

- signal arrays
- dynamic loading-unloading of instruments
- a csound orchestra interpreter
