Quoting Mathieu Bouchard matju@artengine.ca:
How do you get [print] to print a peachy string?
in the way we (including miller) kind of agreed at LAC2008 the answer is simple: you don't.
Perhaps you don't, but I do print my A_LIST atoms right fucking now using an object called [print], in Miller's Pd, instead of agreeing with things that can either crash pd or make it do something undefined that has nothing to do with printing the contents of the string.
so how do you fookin' do it?
All this resignation must be bringing you closer to God...
yes.
Yeah, well, I agree with your type registry idea, and I shall remember not to go to anything like LAC for the number of pd developers. It's a kind of reflex that I have to fight. I would have to go to LAC for any
i think this is a good decision; if you do want to talk about Pd then you should go to Pd~con or ICMC or another computer-music oriented meeting. LAC used to be a lot about soundcard drivers and new tools/applications, none of which is a category Pd really falls into; i had the impression that a lot of old-school LACers where a bit overwhelmed (and probably frustrated) by the LAC2008 because of the focus on Pd (but then i was a bit frustrated by the focus on SC3 at LAC2007, esp. as many presentations were done on os-x with a remark "ah, this doesn't yet work on linux"); LAC2008 was still great (but i am not an ol-skool LACer)
