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
