If the comment didn't tip you off, I'm a DSP engineer. I don't make music, I make software. The software I want to make, I can't make with the Web Audio API.

Sandboxes are cute, but they are a shitty choice to build the platform of the future on.

I just don't understand why people ignore this elephant in the room.

You're not going to make the kind of software you want to make using the Web Audio API.

However, maybe the kid who's poking around with it on his computer today will be the one who expands on what they learn in that sandbox, and years down the road, sends you a resume that in addition to the typical work/school history, has the kind of exploration-driven side-projects on it that differentiate that resume from the rest of them.
