Re: [PD-dev] pd-extended loadlib request

Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:

I think they were only added to Max/Pd as typing shortcuts, which is very weak argument in favor of them. I am not saying we should remove them, but I think they should be avoided as a matter of convention.

What other programming language has aliases?

It's not that uncommon if you think of operator overloading in C++ and many other languages, or things like "from math import radians as rad" in Python. Shortcuts can be a very strong argument, and especially in a graphical language, [t a a a a a a] often is better than [trigger anything anything anything anything anything anything]
