but besides pseudocode, Gen~ also deals with object boxes, for people who
can't write text. It would be cool if we could take all of vanilla objects
and compile it as an object for optimization, that would be like using Pd
itself as a language and compile it like libpd. Am I dreaming? does
something like this make sense at all?

yeah, for what I hear, Faust would be nice, huh?
