Increase support for CAL scripts by:  1) updating documentation 2) update script language 3) providing script editor tool and 4) create how-to-use tutorials.

+1 on this one. Good idea.

and more official built-in CAL scripts for more other functions as well

This idea may ruffle a few feathers, but something else to consider might be to migrate CAL scripts to a modern, widely supported scripting language, such as Javascript (or one of the others currently available such as Lua, or Python). 
 
Reaper includes ReaScript which is compatible with Lua and Python.
Tracktion Waveform includes a macro editor that is Javascript syntax compatible.
There are probably a few others.
 
It would be much easier to get community coding help or support with a mainstream scripting language.  CAL was developed for the task years before other good options were available. 
 
1. A new scripting module could be implemented in the DAW.
2. Existing CAL scripts could be translated through a separate automated process to the new language.
3. Many free resources and tutorials are available, including extensive online documentation for modern scripting languages.
 
In any case, I believe a modern DAW should fully support scripting.  I'm not against supporting CAL, just that's not as likely to get a priority for increased support, IMO.

The problem report forum has plenty of backlog. Here is my report from last August that was reproduced with special help from msorrels (Matt).
 
Simple project that makes popping noises
 
By rollbacks, I found this noise started happening in the 2016.9 update (22.9), September 2016. The particular feature that stood out was "plug-in load balancing".
 
So I disabled plug-in load balancing (Edit > Preferences > Audio - Playback and Recording, just below the "Use Multiprocessing Engine") and no more pops. As a separate test, with plug-in load balancing enabled, I set my ASIO buffer to 128. No pops. By default, plug-in load balancing only works for buffer sizes 256 and above.
 
Pops for this particular project are associated with the plug-in load balancing feature.

It looks like PreSonus just doubled down by improving their pop production features in Studio One 4:
Sample One XT sampler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96OMEiuHLHM
Impact XT drum sampler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhKnUOKLCMY
and a new integrated pattern sequencer.







Studio One 4 Pro also introduced a new chord track, great addition, wish Cakewalk would add this feature, it's really a handy tool for guitar players who are not proficient on keyboards!

I'm still setting up my studio in a new location. The only thing that bothers me at this time is the fact that I have a lot of VST 32 bit plugins that used to load with jbridge. They no longer work. Please come up with a workaround for this. I'll be back when I get everything set up.
