This sounds like a terrific project!I don't know if this is of interest, but I wrote a Common Lisp interpreter object for Max/MSP awhile ago. The interpreter was implemented in java, so I'm not sure if it runs with contemporary Max/MSP-s (they dropped explicit java support, but I've heard from some that it still works).brad_______________________________________________On Thu, Oct 22, 2020 at 7:32 AM Joe Deken <newblankets@newblankets.org> wrote:Hello Ian,

Pd would be seminal to new visions and vistas for Pd itself. (I am warped
by having conversations
with Chris McCormick and other aficionados of Clojure, incorrigible years
myself with emacs-LISP, and even -- when dinosaurs roamed the earth, with
giants such as John McCarthy -- some small bit of tme of my own in his
shop and among his disciples at CSAIL.
Lest my mind wander (further), I'll say this more concretely: New Blankets
is happy to offer resources
for your efforts if such resources would turn out to be useful. (Not the
dreaded "bounty" avenue -- I'm thinking more of something like a
*Pd-Weekend* at my place here in San Diego (or at yours) -- Such PdW
would be a "round workbench" session as Katja dubs -- you could present
your PdScheme work (when you're ready) to a hands-on group who would riff
on your schemes and move them forward. At first attempt, this Pd-Weekend
could even be virtual and open to all via round-workbench sessions at say:
-- https://meet.jit.si/duncan_pd_scheme/ --
A personal plea ... hope you will include in your vision the wonderful
ideas of Brian Harvey and his SNAP! visual-interfacing achievements. (Some
antidote is needed with real LISP to counter the bogus infestation of
Scratch! which seems to have taken pernicious hold world wide ...)
