I've been following the development of MIDI 2.0 specs ¹ with interest (just personal, not for work).
In the past year, I got fairly deep into Open Sound Control ², which has so much fun potential and can practically be a superset of MIDI. In fact, I implemented encode/decode from OSC <-> MIDI in C++ and Node.js for a hobby project.
So I wonder, could MIDI and OSC converge in the future?
It seems to me that the latter being a generic protocol for any kind of message, including musical data, that it could supercede depending on industry adoption (like MIDI+OSC instruments)..
