* I believe it would cost me more to make a C library of those objects and
a cross browser plugin to load them, than it would to recode them in
Javascript.

* I believe that most browser plugins, including the existing Pd plugin,
don't seem to get as much use on the web in general as Javascript
libraries, which don't require the user to perform the extra step of
installing them.

* My main use-cases only require vanilla Pd objects (and right now, mainly
tilde objects).

"javascript-rate".

Thanks for your thoughts.

Goodnight,
