Extempore was almost my jam when I got started with code-music in 2014, but javascript was just good enough, and the web audio API soon had a script processor, so I started building my own stack in the browser and never looked back.

But I was impressed, and envied the processing power. However, digital musical interfaces are really what inspired me to code music in the first place, the idea of building them (which I do now).

I actually installed and tried extempore, and that almost got me into emacs, b/c the author had integrated it. Smdh. Luckily, I abandoned both, and have used vim ever since. I had looked at all the weird code music editor systems, deemed extempore the best, but ultimately I had to go raw and work my way up.
