It's well worth watching, all the way through. It was a "eureka" moment for me -- I now see the potential of "live-coding."

Ah ok, you mean that you didn't see the potential of live-coding by using PureData ?

But PureData isn't just about the potential of live-coding. It's also about doing it. Possibly even every time you use it.

IMO, Pd *approaches* this potential of live-coding, but isn't there yet. The edit/play dichotomy, and the probability of audio dropouts resulting from trying to use both modes simultaneously is a big obstacle to smooth live-coding.

I use Pd because it is the best compromise that I have found toward achieving this idea-implementation feedback loop for audio/music design. I still maintain a divide between my design phase and my performance phase, though; I'd love to see that divide fade away.

I also like programming in "word" languages, and a Supercollider-type language with this the one in this video's level of instantaneous, round-trip synchronization between code and product would be pretty great.
