+<p>
+FAUST is a compiled language for real-time audio signal processing. The name
+FAUST stands for Functional AUdio STream. Its programming model combines two
+approaches: functional programming and block diagram composition. You can
+think of FAUST as a structured block diagram language with a textual syntax.
+The project aims at developing a new backend for Faust that will directly
+produce LLVM IR instead of the C++ class Faust currently produces. With a
+(yet to come) library version of the Faust compiler, it will allow
+developers to embed Faust + LLVM JIT to dynamically define, compile on the
+fly and execute Faust plug-ins. LLVM IR and tools also allows some nice
+bytecode manipulations like "partial evaluation/specialization" that will
+also be investigated.
