Question:
Can I use multiple functions for my variable? Like say string.length (for calculating length of your string). Can I use string.length.square.factorial() (I know it looks funny, haha), imagine I want factorial of square of length of my string? Are these types of multiple functions thing possible in programming languages? Because I am already doing this in Python, like string.length, but not sure about multiple things

You could make them complex with methods to do stuff like that, but why would you?

Question:
I'm curious what you think of other brands mining nostalgia like Limewire, Radioshack and Blockbuster in addition to Winamp? What are the risks of these companies using brandnames people recognize as a shortcut instead of building an actual, earned reputation?

Question:
For each continent choose a country to live : Africa, Europe, Asia, south America , north America , Australia/Oceania

I haven't been to enough places to answer this with any kind of confidence! Also the location within the country would probably be as important as the country to begin with. So, with such little data available, I'll answer based on the food I've had in the style of the country or whatnot, because I like eating and that's more interesting than "I have no idea":
Africa: I mean who doesn't like injera and greens and spiciness? I'll go Ethiopia
Europe: mmm tough choices here, I'll go the UK assuming I can end up in Cornwall and have pasties there to my heart's content.
Asia: India or Pakistan. Naan roti saag and kofta mmmm
South America: hmm whose empanadas do I like best? I dunno. I'll go with Argentina (also I hear they have good meat). Sorry for my ignorance here!
North America: Mexico.
Oceania: I really like this NZ-based coffeehouse I've been into in London (Allpress), so I'll go NZ.
Sorry these aren't well-reasoned answers, but/and now I'm hungry.

Will REAPER in Windows ever get to have the bluetooth midi UWP support? It´d be great to see it being used as some of the current solutions can only see one device at atime

Question:
Can we make a complicated software (like REAPER) entirely in only one programming language, let say, Python?
Asked by Abhi (106.212.144.x) on April 16 2022, 5:16pm
Reply on April 17 2022, 3:59am:
Hmm I'm not sure, does Python support threads well? Or does it have some big global lock? Other things would be ways of supporting your hardware, updating the screen, etc. I don't know the answers to these.

Question:
Hi Justin, I hope you are not tired of being asked this question but I am actually writing a paper on you (and Reaper) and was wondering if you could tell me in your own words, why did you decide to make Reaper when there were other DAWs readily available and what gaps (if any) in the DAW market does Reaper fill that other DAWs either can't or don't want to fill? Thanks for reading my qestion :)
Asked by AnonStudent (175.32.112.x) on April 10 2022, 6:31pm
Reply on April 11 2022, 5:04pm:
The main gap would be not being a pain in the ass. An example of one the initial things that was important to me were being able to record and change things on the fly, e.g. arm/disarm tracks while recording, but really there are too many things to list.

Question:
Hi Justin I'm interested in your old "jesusonic" guitar effect experiment (I think now would be a lot easier to do with the lot of mini pc board around) any possibility that you release that or the jsfx part of the source to the public? I think having jsfx effects would be great in something like jack. thanks
Asked by Nick (37.228.232.x) on April 9 2022, 5:27pm
Reply on April 10 2022, 4:04pm:
I don't think we'll release the source to the classic version but probably the more modern one... you could always run REAPER on any of these devices too. It's not really meaningfully more overhead
