The pd<->haskell bridge I wrote has bitrotted for 3+ years, so, probably 
not any more (unless someone else forked it or wrote a new one).  May be 
revived at some point, as hs-plugins has finally been updated to recent 
GHC versions...

I made a brainfuck interpreter as an abstraction, and I'm pretty sure it 
isn't the only one out there...

[lexpr x -> (function(y) return x + y end)(x)] also works

Though, I just tried typing a ; in an [lexpr ...] box and pd froze, so, 
I have a bug to fix somewhere...
