By the way, jMax expressions are *compile* time expression (actually,

Well, I was comparing to [expr] because the jMax expressions also exist in
messageboxes, where they behave more like [expr].
Pd is not the end of history for the MAX language,
That's not what I mean, what I mean is that it's more worthwhile to fork
Pd than to fork (or revive) jMax.
there is still a lot that can be done at the core level. jMax Phoenix is
a kind of research project; for now, i am trying to make it usable;
later, to provide strong reasons for using it, at least in some specific
field or projects.
I think that some of those "core" features could become Pd externals
(albeit rather unusual ones).
