WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Very ambitious and looks like quite an accomplishment! I've been working recently on several DSP projects, including for web and embedded applications, and I definitely appreciate writing performant code without having to write C++ by hand.
I couldn't tell from your post and linked material how the runtime works — I see that the high-level graph is handed over to the runtime, but is it interpreted? Compiled? Does it require platform-specific binaries?
For my current projects I settled on Faust [1], which has the advantage of compiling to C++ source files (which can then be used with any platform/framework that supports C++), but that has the disadvantage that swapping components in and out (as you describe in the linked article) is not so easy.

Funny you should say that :) I'm currently building a small drum synth, will share it as soon as its ready.
In the mean time, check out https://github.com/nick-thompson/elementary for some examples that you can `npm install && npm start` to hear
