Out of curiosity, how would this work?

You port WebAudio API to a compiled language or use a JS interpreter that has it?

Would be interested to try this

Not quite. There would be no JS. The WebAudio API is implemented in Rust. You would just use the innards (buffers, audio graph etc.) and leave it as a Rust framework.

LabSound [0] has done something similar with C++ and WebKit. They took the WebAudio implementation and made it into a C++ framework.

Ah yup, for Servo that would make sense eh?

Well neato. I hope you do, seems useful. Audio landscape needs more options besides JUCE and iPlug2.

Here's an in-development audio framework which uses JS. I haven't used it, but it looks interesting.
