And on a tagent slightly, but one of the biggest hurdles to writing complex projects in HISE is just how many languages and approaches you need to take command of. In C++ I can focus on JUCE and C++. In HISE, I need to learn HISEscript, C++, SNEX, simple markdown, and even css. This is a barrier to speed.
Yup, I understand that, however nobody forces you to use CSS or markdown :) On the other hand, the LLM has no problem using different languages (assuming that I solve the knowledge gap problem to HiseScript and make the CSS parser a bit more standard conform), so I would say that if you don't understand CSS you can still use it through an LLM.
That's where it's been most obviously unusable for me; if I'm spending half the time reiterating the same basic Hise scripting errors back to the LLM, that's too much time and tokens wasted to achieve anything substantial. It's mostly the frustration of it that kills the motivation to continue, otherwise it has great potential!
Yes that is basically LLM integration 101: remove the friction point that it mixes up HiseScript and Javascript. I'm pretty confident that I'm 80% there with the MCP server and the latest models, but this will be an iterative process that will take some time.
But I agree that if HiseScript turns out to be a burden (hallucinates Javascript) instead of a opportunity (allow a fast & tight feedback loop) for LLMs then there will be smoother workflows from competitors, so this is a key problem for me to solve.
