[PD] Bela - Ultra-low-latency embedded audio platform

I understand your point of view. I should note that you don't need to use
Heavy to work with Bela. You can write C/C++ code using all the tools we
make available and we're also looking to support other frameworks and music
languages.

Converting Pd patches to C code is dependent on a third-party
closed-but-free-to-use compiler, however makes it very easy to prototype
interactive objects and produces very fast code (which you are free to do
whatever you want with). Unfortunately you can't achieve this same
performance by running native Pd, though perhaps we will look at this as an
alternative in the future.
