Cabbage itself is built with JUCE ;-)

after JUCE got acquired by ROLI, everything went downhill from there.

  You may already be aware, but it’s no longer owned by ROLI, they sold it to PACE who it seems are investing in it more heavily

    It's the first I'd heard about it, apparently it happened in April 2020. Kinda weird that PACE works with intellectual property and licensing, and not in audio software development themselves. > JUCE Announces Acquisition by PACE > The JUCE team is delighted to announce the acquisition of JUCE by PACE Anti-Piracy Inc. > PACE specialises in software IP protection and secure licensing, and has been making developer tools for software creators for over 35 years. As PACE’s tools are used by a large number of world-class audio software publishers the company understands the importance of JUCE as a foundational piece of industry software infrastructure. https://juce.com/discover/stories/juce-announces-acquisition-by-pace https://juce.com/discover/stories/juce-announces-acquisition...

      > Kinda weird that PACE works with intellectual property and licensing, and not in audio software development themselves. A lot of their customers use JUCE, so there is a connection even if not very strong. What is also good (in my opinion) is that they are not a big player of the audio software. If JUCE had been acquired by, for example, Steinberg, I would be very worried.

    it’s not about investing heavily into it but about deciding what it should be and not be, and where to focus resources.

There's one ironic thing with JUCE. Everything written with it is by design cross-platform. Despite that synth companies refuse to ship Linux versions. And JUCE plugins/apps work quite badly under Wine Looking at you MODAL Electronics!
- tomduncalf 4y ago
  Sadly it's not really that simple (speaking as someone who has shipped JUCE apps on iOS and Android) – sure, the code might compile on every platform, but in reality there are still a bunch of other factors that can make stuff not work, or perform badly, or complicated to test, or whatever. I suspect really it's that companies are not willing to do the testing or support required to say they support Linux.

  There's major Linux progress and I'd expect more to come soon. JUCE 7 introduced LV2 and I think more developers will release to Linux sooner than later.

    LV2 is a multiplatform plugin format
