| 21:57:31 |  Cluedrew | Isn't PyPy one of those? |
| 21:58:15 |  hhromic | Yes, but I haven't visited it since a while, not sure if it's more "production ready" by now |
| 21:58:54 | Cluedrew | As far as I know, it is still stuck on C libraries in can't interact with quite right. |
| 21:59:20 | hhromic | Yes I remember that as well |
| 22:02:39 | hhromic | There are very solid libraries by now: Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, SciKit-Learn, MatPlotLib (all from the scientific domain) |
| 22:03:19 | Cluedrew | Python has always good library support. |
| 22:03:47 | Cluedrew | That and general approchability have been its highlights for years. |
| 22:03:49 | hhromic | Which compensates very well for it not being the fastest all round |
| 22:05:17 | hhromic | I think we have diverged enough for #solarus xD |
| 22:05:17 | Cluedrew | Its a trade-off as always. |
| 22:06:48 | Cluedrew | I haven't had an excuse to look at Python in ages though. |
| 22:08:37 | Cluedrew | Found some cool stuff on the dictionary reword. |

OpenAL also supports some simple audio effects such as reverb .. so for example sound effects could be reverbed inside a cave |
| 17:13:54 |  Maxatrillionator | If it'd be possible to use things like reverb or fading out or playing more than one music track at once (or crossfading), that'd be great for making the audio of solarus games a lot more modern : ) |
| 17:14:01 | hhromic | Then first step would be to redesign the Lua Sound API ... perhaps is a good next step after the multiplayer big change 😄 |
| 17:14:49 | Maxatrillionator | Maybe at that point I'll have released OH and I'll have time to learn and help too. I know a lot about audio engineering, but not much about the backend engine stuff yet : ) |
| 17:15:29 | hhromic | Here you can see an example of what is possible with OpenAL in terms of reverb: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/blob/master/examples/alreverb.c |
| 17:15:49 | hhromic | and there is multizone reverb too: https://github.com/kcat/openal-soft/blob/master/examples/almultireverb.c |
| 17:18:47 | hhromic | I think there is a lot of potential to improve the Sound API just by exploting OpenAL more |
| 17:20:48 | hhromic | Another goodie of OpenAL is that it adapts to the actual speaker setup of the user .. so if someone has just stereo speakers you get virtual spatial sound, but if you have an actual 5.1 or 7.1 setup, you get sound coming from the intended speaker without changing anything |

| 18:37:15 |  Christopho | The other day we were talking about replacing OpenAL by SDL_Mixer to simplify dependencies |
