As someone involved in the audio ecosystem, the Clap plug-in API is quickly
becoming an industry standard,
is now supported by multiple digital audio workstation software (Reaper,
Bitwig, qtractor) and a recurrent topic in audio conferences and circles.
It has its own wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLever_Audio_Plug-in

- 12 pages of products using CLAP on KVR:
