A DAW is a major undertaking that would test the language 
boundaries for sure.

The real time requirements mean that the GC is excluded.

Cockos, the makers of REAPER, have a few C libraries that could

that they use in their software.
As for audio, it's also worth having a look at the JUCE C++ lib.
