reducing filesize (was matlab and mircrosound)

[e.g.ø <glere@xxxxxxxxx>]

yes Michal you're perfectly right, critical code needs C++ or
brothers... however I think about Java as a mean to carry generative
(but not only) music into everybody's computer with java appletts
running into web-browsers. In this way the file size is incredibly
reduced!
Even if it is made with Flash, a good example of music with micro
filesize is this work by the good Ian Andrews:

do you know about other net-music with little filesize? (apart from MIDI
files obviously)

Performance critical code (like most real-time audio stuff) you must write in C/C++/assembly/forth or whatever suits you (but it has to work fast) and stick it into shared libraries.  That's how JSyn is implemented.  But it uses Java as a programming language so any Java coder will feel at home.  It's got also a GUI frontend in which you connect boxes together and it generates Java code but you have to pay for that one.
