Rats.

Well, at least I was thinking. Looks like it's time to learn another 
language. ;-)

Of all the reviews I ever read about csound, none of them ever indicated 
that it's a *language*. Their general tone (pun intended) was "you've 
gotta check this out!", and I was left with the understanding that it was 
just a glitzy GUI tool.

(*mailing myself my rant from this morning about "reinventing Unix, 
poorly"*)
