Question: hi, I'm very curious why did you name your programming language "Jesusonic"? I am an Orthodox Christian and the mention of my God's name in vain disturbs me. Please explain what meaning you put in this name? And is there blasphemy in it?

Question: Hi Justin, I developed a plugin for Reaper. I output the DLL and place it in the %APPDATA%/REAPER/UserPlugins folder. It works great on Windows, but on macOS platform REAPER does not load this plugin at startup. What do I have to do to run this plugin on macOS. Thank you. Asked by Musa Kurt (185.253.121.x) on January 4 2021, 12:50pm Reply on January 4 2021, 9:27pm: Hmm a lot of possibilities of why it might not get loaded. is it reaper_xyz.dylib, in your ~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/UserPlugins/ folder? Does it have any GateKeeper quarantine metadata set from having been downloaded? Does it get loaded at all? Are there unresolved symbols? Try running REAPER from a console and see if it prints anything? 3 Comments... Question: What UI framework do you use for Reaper since it runs everywhere (Lin/Win/Mac)? Or is it custom made?

Question: What if a significant percent of the REAPER community refused to wear a mask or get vaccinated unless timestretch was implemented in RS5K, what would you do? Asked by Mommy (142.196.50.x) on January 2 2021, 12:21pm Reply on January 2 2021, 8:12pm: If I were to implement that, then they'd ask for something else. So I'd tell them to wear masks and get vaccinated and _THEN_ I'll think about it. :/ The main reason why it hasn't been implemented is that for realtime use (the most common way to use RS5k) timestretch isn't practical! 1 Comment...

Question: SWELL/GDK: Is it possible to emulate CreateWindowEx in functionality with some internal SWELL function or I have to go with the resource root and use dialogs? Thanks Asked by Gio (79.130.163.x) on December 30 2020, 5:38am Reply on December 30 2020, 3:27pm (edited at December 30 2020, 3:41pm): There's a SWELL shorthand which is to use SWELL_CreateDialog()... For a top level window see eel_lice.h's use. The template value in question is 0x400000|styles, where style has bits 1: resizable, 2: no minimize, 4: no close.

Question: Maybe WDL_ALLOW_UNSIGNED_DEFAULT_CHAR should take into consideration the /J option, that would be _CHAR_UNSIGNED, right now if fails by default. What you think? Best wishes for Xmas. Asked by Gio (79.130.163.x) on December 23 2020, 7:54am Reply on December 23 2020, 12:36pm: Should probably go through and make sure all of WDL doesn't break with that first :) Comment...
