Not at all. Csound has been doing this for many years.

My (embryonic) stuff works a bit like that, except that it's
taken further. Every synth is a different C++ program, with a
one-frame-per-iteration loop that polls the MIDI input and calls
the iter() method on a number of objects (Lfo, Osc, EG, etc.).
It's more flexible and potentially faster but it means that you
have to recompile every time you add a component or modulation
route.
