Hi list,

I wish a f...... good year for the pd community !

I will teach some workshops about Pd and I would like to speak about the 
design principles behind Pd Development. I remember some but I don't 
find these anymore. May someone (Miller ?) validate or explain them ?

Two principles I remember :

  * A pd patch must be run in old computers. Is it related to the choice
    of C Language and Tcl TK ? Could be also related to some ecological
    vision about new technologies obsolescence and anti-productivism ?
  * The number of lines of code must be less than 10 000 ?

About the history of Pd, we associate often the design of Pd with Music 
III - V Max Mathew's program. Could someone validate this, I can't find 
any screenshots or design principles about Music III - V ?

Thanks for any insights !

Best

j.
