me too, really excited to see lua signal processing in pd. since
graham wakefield is involved I guess it will be similar to the max version?Yes, it's practically the same objectclass. For now it's called [vessel~] instead of [lua~] but that might change.
are you planning a native texteditor support from within pd. I saw texteditors that pop up when you double cklick an object for example for the cyclone coll object. something like this (... syntax highlighting???).
I won't do this: The tk-editor is not very usable and other editor widgets would add dependencies I'd like to avoid. Most people will want to use their favourite editor anyway.
Maybe it's possible to use os.execute() in scripts on your own to start an editor, but it also may introduce platform issues.
auto updating of scripts when they are changed and saved would be
nice, too.That could be useful, but it's not high on my todo list for now.

It seems to me that the ideal would be to have access to the Pd DSP
API in pdlua, then you can just write tilde objects in lua. I don't
really know how hard that would be.
