hi hans, hi devs
start working on Pd-0.39.2-extended. I plan a number of big changes, like namespace support improvements, and moving to Tcl/Tk 8.4.12 on
i like the idea of namespaces (actually, i think, it's one of the most important features, pd is missing), but i want to warn about implementing them in one branch of pd only, since they are a change to the pd language, not just another interpreter feature ...
a namespace, that's only a feature of extended, not part of vanilla, devel or desire (yes, it seems, we already have 4 pd branches, although devel and desire are closely related) would result in language inconsistencies ... ever had problems like: "this doesn't compile with gcc/msvc", "please use (insert your favorite scheme interpreter here)" ...
imo a namespace should be implemented to all flavours of pd, not only one ...
cheers ... tim
