Actually, that’s a good point. Vanilla already uses tcl, so why not be able to load tcl scripts? This of course assumes tcl availability, but that’s not unreasonable considering I expect vanilla to use tcl/tk for the indefinite future.
so what is wrong with tclpd? do you request it to be included with pd-vanilla,
IMHO: yes. And no. Depending on how easy/hard it would be to include it in pd-vanilla. I guess one would assume that because Pd is using tcl anyway, it might me 'easy' to use tcl as an abstraction/object scripting language (i.e. I would assume the dependencies for tclpd are very similar to pd-vanilla?). However I admit that assumption might be naive/wrong and that other better options might exist.
My initial point was that it would be very nice to have some scripting language functionality included in Pd-vanilla. Why? a) Because I think it's cool b) IMHO it would open up possibilities for doing lots of things in 'pure pd' ('pure' meaning vanilla).
