Oh boy :~)

Even though this already sounds great, hot swapping state would be the really big deal here. Do you think the Faust program itself might be able to save/load state somehow?

faust isn't in the loop at that stage. Saving/restoring state will be something the soul driver will have to do, and of course, this will then mean this ability works for all code using the driver, not just faust sourced soulpatches.

We've sketched out how this would work, and it's on the project backlog as something we want to support, so at some point we'll improve this area of the runtime.

Cool, great to see that in the pipeline.

I can vouch for that being a high priority feature for any interactive audio development, not just for live coding scenarios.
