This again would reproduce the situation in SuperCollider of having 3 languages: a composing language (SC3), a signal graph language (SynthDefs), and a unit generator language (C). Instead we would have an orchestra language (e.g. Python), a signal graph language (Csound orc language), and a unit generator language (C).

The fewer languages, the better.

Subject: Re: [Cs-dev] opcode/instrument interface

OK. let me reformulate. Loading single opcodes and running
is OK. But also what I had in mind was the possibility of
adding instruments to an already loaded orchestra, even
as csound performs other instruments.

I suppose it doesn't really matter if the instrument code is
actually written in Csound, because you can construct
the text code for such instruments using other languages;
but what I was thinking was to have API functions that could do that, so 
that we
could build an instrument only using the API, bypassing
the csound orchestra language.
