Don't you mean Pr0c3$$|n6 ?

Yeah, IIRC, I was giving up on dataflow just about the time Mr. Grill
was really polishing up dyn~, so I never quite got into it. I figure I
could use dyn~ or python or something else to script Pd and make it
easier, but in the end everything makes more sense to me in text,
since Pd is the only programming language I've ever used that is
graphical. The bottom line is that when I think of an algorithm, it's
a textual structure; if I'm using Pd I then have to translate that,
which is a PITA.

I had a bunch of other problems with Pd, but I think recent work has
largely remedied them (thank God (or whichever developer actually did
the work) for the new GOP work). And data-structures have matured a
bunch too, and look neat.

I've considered various solutions to scripting Pd, including using Pd
to write some sort of PDP video server, that then I could control
using Lisp and OSC. I'd prefer a pre-rolled solution. Packet-forth may
be the best solution, since I know it does everything I want. I guess
Aymeric et al. have some emails coming...

Thanks!
