C'mon folks, who really cares how many lines X can be accomplished with? Just get X to happen, in whatever is fastest for you, that can also be read and maintained by a large group of people.
For me, that's Java, because I know it so well, and because that's the "standard" here. For others, the situation should drive the language. I also believe that the environment has more influence on the choice of language then does the problem/solution.
Isn't the true sense of a hacker to accomplish the previously thought impossible with what we have today? I think bringing tools, languages and such from outside the environment is a bit like cheating.
Good for your neighbourhood grow house. Police Choppers with infared cameras fly overhead in search of heat blooms from grow houses. If it blocks it coming in, should block it going out too.
What would be useful here is a Java JINI implementation. Each musical device represents a JINI service, which the mixer would dynamically discover, along with each instruments properties. The instruments, in turn, can contact other JINI enabled devices i.e. pedals. And with Java in the guitar, the possibilites for those effects and what not are greater as it will benefit from a solid Java developer forum.

No sig... For shame.
