There isn't an official one, I think there are some discords around, but none official either. Forums, baby. Comment...

Question: I'm currently coding Gui-accessibility-stuff and I wondered about some specifics: in reaper's Guis, is a label of a dropdownlist part of the ui-element(both together) or is it rather label + dropdownlist(separate elements)? And are labels always skipped when tabbing through or are there usecases, where one can tab through labels/text elements, too?

Question: Did you intentionally name JS to share initials with JavaScript? I'm forever seeing people conflate the two. Seems like a bit of an oversight in terms of communication clarity.

Reply on January 16 2023, 2:56am (edited at January 16 2023, 2:57am):

no it was not intentional, it's called JSFX but should've used JSFX: in the FX browser but that's too long I guess so laziness prevailed. And I guess JSFX would still be confusing. But that's the way it goes! Technically JavaScript is actual ECMAScript anyway? And I guess JSFX is EEL2. 5 Comments...

Question: Do you think there will be any programming language in the future which can replace all languages and become the only programming language which can be used for any purpose?

Question: Q1. What's the reason why did you choose C++ for developing REAPER? Why not any other language? Q2. If Visual Studio adds a feature of converting languages into any other, in which language you want to convert all your codes into?
Asked by Abhi (27.58.1.x) on January 13 2023, 9:52am
Reply on January 13 2023, 9:47pm:

It was what was available and what I was used to. If there was a C++ to rust converter I'd probably take a look at that output. 4 Comments...

Question: I work in 16-bit 44100 Hz audio. What about you? Because for some reason, when I set my Windows audio to more than it, REAPER does not produce sound and shows "audio device closed". Maybe, my laptop doesn't support more than 16-bit & 44100 Hz? But still, it shows 24-bit & 48000 Hz.

Question: Is it true that people who are good in mathematics, are also generally good in coding & music? Also, I see some similarities between music & coding (and maths)

Reply on January 8 2023, 1:06am:

not sure, there are probably examples that are consistent with that and examples that are not... There's probably a mathy-style of code/music vs the less-mathy-style? I'm not great at math btw. 3 Comments...

Question: Assuming you're a rich person, is that why Reaper costs as much as it does? And if you weren't a rich person, would that affect the pricing of Reaper? Many kind regards!

My personal finances have very little to do with REAPER's pricing at this point! 17 years ago I had a lot of room to experiment which was good, but very soon after it became self-sustaining. 1 Comment...
