I do think about why the project really matters. ;o) I think Pd shall get a
proper language-independent API.

If you want to know why I don't start this project up myself, no it's not
shyness or learned helplessness but the mere fact that i'm doing two jobs to
survive and have no joules left for this. My bad.

If anyone cared, there would be a prototype already.

Well, i just imagine it is not easy to have one's 'child' undergo such a
severe operation, so one might not make up a decision or even publicly
address the question so easily.
