Hallo, Hans-Christoph Steiner hat gesagt: // Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote:
I advocate use of consistent syntax all over pd. Consistency is more important than minimality. If pd's syntax is too minimal, it encourages small syntax hacks that aren't portable to the rest of the pd system, such as -y amp(0:100)(0:100).
That is strange, I hadn't seen that before. I also have not seen gridflow before. I should say, then I am talking about things in common usage. There is definitely a lot of stuff shoe-horned into some of those draw and plot boxes. I wonder how to make that stuff work without the new syntax?
(Optional) keyword arguments are a long-term wishlist item, because only having positional arguments is not very comfortable. It would be great to have a corresponding object or syntax to read out keyword arguments in abstractions. I think, Thomas Grill write somthing like that for the flext-syntax. From a qwertz-keyboard user's view I would prefer the "-key" syntax over flext's "@key" syntax. Gridflow's syntax looks quite interesting, though unusual. I need to think more about it.
Ciao
