What kind of other atom types are you thinking? Like int? I suppose to make Pd into a full-fledged programming language, it would be useful to be able to support things like 128-bit floats, 32-bit ints, etc..
well, yes, but that is not my concern now. i would rather have that pd's native floating point format to be settable at compile time, but that is something completely different.
what i would like to have is more along strings, gem-states,... and other complex stuff. i am not thinking about types that can be defined within the pd environment, but rather outside (in C,...)
though the former might be interesting too...
It would be good to have a clean way to support new atom types like strings, it also seems that this feature could open up a big can of worms.
how?
