Me five. This isn't the first time I've had this happen.

Me six. Worked as an apprentice DG engineer, learned about transducers when being taught to calibrate the vacuum chambers on reel to reel tape drives. :)

Hey all you pro audio people: you gotta see what Clojure has to offer for your world. Having come up in CSound Clojure's Pink and other libraries are first class, and the language's semantics pair so well with the audio mindset. Rich Hickey wrote Clojure after dealing with broadcast systems for 20 years. I think of transducers like a side chain. Check out Rich's additive synthesis stuff and you'll see the ethic and thrust behind this language. When the word Composition is invoked it means applying aesthetic, thinking about time, and the rigor that comes along with audio production. If you're a hacker/musician at heart you'll find a home within the Clojure community right away on many levels.

And I'm lucky enough to have clicked on the comments first, otherwise I would have been #6.
