Pd has grown big, sound, video, physical robotics, 
installations, with Pd as a general purpose cyberjunction. Big must
move at a fairly slow pace to stay coherent.

As a crazy hypothetical, hmmm, I wish for Blender to marry Puredata as their
games sound engine and make set of [world] objects babies...
..that have hooks called from game object events.:) When you see a video link
on a viewer in game Pd is handling all that, when two objects collide
the sound you get is Pd handling it... Pd as an embedded realtime signals and
interfacing layer in a games engine sort of thing. /end dream~~

Its way open yeah and such is its charm, a great dev environment for
so many ideas, not necessarily a final component or end in
iteself yet, for me. Beyond prototyping in Pd and rebuilding by
hand I'd like to see Pd output more reusable code and integrate
with other things as well as itself on a lower level. Like being
able to compile new externals from inside Pd itself (segfault
proof combo of compiler, text editor and "active object"), or converting
the DSP parts of a patch to a plugin for another system LV2 or
VST or something not requiring Pd any longer. So in summary I'd
like to see Pd mature as a component in a wider development 
environment, which I think it surely will.
