I understand your point of view. I should note that you don't need to use Heavy to work with Bela. You can write C/C++ code using all the tools we make available and we're also looking to support other frameworks and music languages. 

Converting Pd patches to C code is dependent on a third-party closed-but-free-to-use compiler, however makes it very easy to prototype interactive objects and produces very fast code (which you are free to do whatever you want with). Unfortunately you can't achieve this same performance by running native Pd, though perhaps we will look at this as an alternative in the future.

I was going to "spread the word" until I read that "detail", wich is for
me a total no go... :/

too bad for a great project ... I hope this will change in the future.
