Even if that would offer some usability improvements, we've still lost something in how quickly you can draw a circle and play a sound. Don't forget your header files, can you use hardware acceleration?

I evangelize a lot for Processing [1] but it is the best experience I've had for getting to draw a circle as quickly as possible. It's a limited subset of Java included in a very basic IDE, that was developed at the MIT Media Lab. Its original purpose was bringing computation and graphics to artists and designers.

void setup() { ellipse(10,10,20,20); }
