Yeah, pointers are way too complicated to use... I'm trying to think of
ways to improve that :)

Hello,
just to add my brain fart too, pointers are the most efficient data
storing/retrieving I've ever met in PureData, but it also the most complicated
to manage in a patch without crashing the whole thing... Pointers have get set
methods and can store all PureData types, and it's very fast, if not the the
fastes method. Meanwhile, it's dedied to graphical stuff and not very
convenient for users that are not very very experimented, and maybe also for
the experimented ones, otherwise there would be already many proposals for
managing pointers.
best regards

Hi, this may just be a brain fart as I'm no dev and am not acquainted with json/the
nested structures you are talking about, but it strikes me that [list store] could
be used to make a more flexible [value] type object, by using the fact you can send
it the [send $0/foo( message to request the list... with an abstraction based on
this you could have at least have arbitrary list-based variables that you could
dynamically get & set. Just mentioning it in case it sparks anything off for
anyone, please disregard if not!
Cheers, Sam.
