As a test yes, but not for the release. It's changing too fast right now to maintain backwards compatibility, so including it would cause more problems than it would solve.
I am not sure, if it really changes, or if it only adds new features. I think the big problems (file naming, loader) are solved, but not sure. I worked a lot with py/pyext and pdj in the past (which are also candidates for pdx), but pdlua is the only scripting tool that can easily integrate the language as a static library, because it is so small. maintainance should be easier than with python and java.
Adding features is also changing.
but it doesnot affect backwards compatibility. it only adds new features. and btw it would give pdx a breeze of brazilian flair.
I just had a thought: how about replacing Tcl/Tk with Lua/Tk? Just a thought...
is this just a matter of replacing one with the other, or does this mean every graphical part has to be rewritten?
marius.
It would mean rewriting pd.tk in Lua and translating the Tcl/Tk code in the C files into Lua/Tk.
and that would allow opengl calls for the interface! I think the problem with that is, that it is extremely difficult to isolate the interface parts from the pd code? marius.
