VAMP does look like a very interesting format, however immediate 
goal is survival in the commercial space, where AAX, Mac and 
AudioUnit are much more important :)  It isn't even sure I will 
continue with D but for now there is not much absolute blockers. 
Lack of OSX shared libraries could be one though.

VAMP roughly fits dplug (apart from non-changing parameters), but 
then it would be a subset of possible VAMP plugins if implemented.
