It would be super userful to have an easy way to make the various loaders auto-load (Lua, Tcl, libdir, etc).
I think it would be even more userful to have hexloader work for abstractions.
I was thinking we could do the same with with loaders. So *-loader.pd_linux (or maybe *-loader.so) anywhere in the Pd path would be loaded at startup.
You just have to put every loader in the -lib section of your pdsettings or pdrc. That's all.
I'd really like to see more people using the pdlua, tclpd,
Yeah, one thing that always annoyed me was that although it's extremely nice to have this support for a bunch of extra languages, there's scarcely anything significant that has been released for pd, that uses those languages. I mean, there are not many of those language libs that appear to have any more users than the author himself. It may be a sign of how those libs are used though: I suppose that they are more often used for project-specific code than otherwise. But generally, I think that they are underused.
