I wonder how willing companies like Ableton would be into putting their audio warping algorithms in client side JavaScript?

Oh at some point they need to get in the game. It feels like everything is migrating to the browser. Be it just for a collab on where the Kicks are in a drum-pattern. Shared sound design just comes after.
For sure, I think the biggest problem (besides WebAudio kinda sucking still) is them basically open sourcing very fancy DSP algorithms by making them visible with "View Source".
Indeed. Production grade WebDAW's are far away. Maybe the DRM-crap catches up (lets hope not) and they could protect their algorithms.
