It's essentially the development branch of Pd-l2ork, so it inherits all of its benefits-- infinite undo, native state-saving, GUI theming, and so on. As for evolving-- you can have a look at the additions I've made to data structures to see. With 15 objects one can make a scalar knob that rotates between 0 and 360 degrees. With maybe 5-10 more objects one can have multiple knobs with changeable symbolic names. Compare that to > 700 lines of C code in the knob external (plus the occasional tcl error, "can't create" error, etc.) There's another possibility which I haven't explored-- that is, you can load anything created with an HTML5 api into the Purr Data GUI and send messages to Pd from it. As far as Pd<->GUI communication, I removed most of the tcl commands from the C code and replaced it with a parameterized interface. I'm still leveraging the same socket-based communication. -Jonathan
