No, it wasn't in this order : first it already couldn't compete with
PureData, AND THEN jMax 4 appeared, which finished killing it, as
the API was all different and no-one bothered porting externals to
it (well, I tried, and I had to give up because some features had
been removed from jMax). By the time the project was called dead,
everybody had already switched to Pd or was in the process of doing
so.
6) The language: jMax support the use of expressions in object
definition, like in | int ( 10 + $foo) | so that objects in
abstractions can be parametrised with respect to the arguments.
I gave up jMax because this feature was introduced. This is because
it removed the possibility to pass an arithmetic operator as an
argument. It was a showstopper for me.
I agree for different reasons. This syntax does seem overly
complicated and takes away from one of the things I like best about
the Max paradigm: really simple syntax.
.hc
the 0.6 beta release; it does not mention the Max OS X version,
that was not ready at the time.
You too write "Max OS X" instead of "Mac OS X" ? Is this a virus you
caught from Miller ? ;)
