Hi Dario, hi everybody,
I understand the motivation, but unfortunately, it's a proposal at odds
with the fundamental principles of Faust. To take an analogy, it's like
reintroducing "goto" into a structured programming language (
https://homepages.cwi.nl/~storm/teaching/reader/Dijkstra68.pdf), or
reintroducing imperative features into a functional programming language.
If you gain a little in "flexibility", you gain nothing in expressiveness,
and you lose a lot in terms of modularity and the ability to reason about
programs. Faust's algebraic and functional approach imposes a discipline
that may seem restrictive at first. Still, it enables us to reason about
programs and compose them algorithmically, in a safe and efficient way. On
the other hand, as I said on Discord, we agree on the need for debugging
functionalities...
