Yep, I had a look at the list archive. Doesn't look as if anybody has
implemented anything realtime yet even though there seems to be many projects
and many people interested. I wonder how that EPFL project is going on,
according to Giorgio's last post in March they had it running although with a
reduced set of core opcodes.

Your vst2 Csound will be a cracker. When approx do you expect to release it ?
When you've got something vaguely running, I would love to test it for
compatibility with our sequencer.

If you've got the skill to do that, I am sure you've got the skill to make an
SAOL compiler ;-)
