Well, Claude's external interfaces to Haskell, which of course poses
problems because Haskell confines side-effects to monads and is
statically typed. These are non-issues in Q and Pure which allow
side-effects without any ado and are dynamically typed, so interfacing
to Pd is much easier and works very well.

Right, now I even remember reading about this, probably in Claude's
pdlua sources. :) Thanks, I will try this in my Pure external.
