Question: Hello Justin Frankel, how are you? Do you plan to continue to offer a Python interface for ReaScripts in the future? Indeed, I could read somewhere that Python was not your favorite language. Have a nice day !

For the foreseeable future, Python is a pain to integrate in other software when compared to say, Lua, so it's not a priority for us.

Thank you. To be sure... Is ReaScript C and / or C++ or is it C++ only ? Have a good day !

ReaScripts are currently Python, Lua, or EEL2

Sorry for the mistake ! I meant the API in order to control REAPER from another software : it is either C or C++ or only C++ ? Would it possible to call one function of the API from JS in any way (just to know) ? Thank you ! Best.

Most of the API is available via plain C, though for some (generally more advanced) things C++ becomes necessary. Pretty much anything that you can do via ReaScript you can do via C, though.

Thank you! Just to know if it was possible to use emscripten in order to use REAPER API through WASM with JS ?
