If you are going to add Tcl support, I highly recommend that you check
out the loader functionality that Thomas wrote. Its in both devel and
MAIN, and there is a working CLR version working. I am thinking you
could implement a Tcl loader and Pd API layer, then you'll be able to
write regular Pd objects directly in Tcl.
I can already write regular Pd object-classes directly in Tcl or Ruby,
thank you very much. I can name you two hundred (200) classes that
were either implemented in Ruby or wrapped as Ruby using SWIG or
source_filter.rb.
Thomas's loader does not enable other languages for externals; pd already
allowed this by itself for very long, even though PyExt didn't seem to
allow any class name other than [py] last time I checked. Thomas's loader
is only about giving equal opportunity to pd's search path and incremental
loading, and while this is something I like a lot, there are other
priorities.
How do I detect whether a given version of Pd supports that feature or
not?
