You could write a suite of objects instead of one monolithic one with 13 inlets and 42 arguments. Then you get the advantages of code reuse without having to mess with subpatches.
Yeah, but what happens in this case is that this suite of abstractions would have one or two objects each (plus [inlet]s and [outlet]s). I'm talking about the case when most of the patching may count as configuration.
So learn LISP and then abandon yr attachment to the Von Neumann architecture.
Questions:
- what's the link between LISP and abandoning vonNeumann arch ?
That architecture separates storage and processor. LISP blurs the line between the data and the algorithm.
- what's the link between what you are replying to and abandoning
vonNeumann arch ?
You indicate that what you want is more 'meta' and less specific.
Best,
Chris.
