Our long-term goal with plugins is to make them much easier to write in SOUL without needing to actually compile anything natively.. as for a marketplace to deliver them, we'd certainly love to be able to offer one of those, and will see how things go.

Yep, we'd love to make soul.dev into a place where you can browse snippets of code, search for people's implementations of various DSP algorithms and try them out and put them together - that's all definitely in the plan!

And as far as cross-platform-ness goes, I don't currently foresee a situation where any SOUL code wouldn't run on all platforms.. Running it as WASM in a browser may not be particularly quick compared to the same code running via LLVM JIT or on a DSP, but it should still work.

(And yes... soul.dev certainly uses HTTPS.. maybe whoever posted this story typed it without that)
