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.

Hi Lorenzo,

Pd Vanilla now includes deken, so if you want to package and maintain
pdlua it will then become "native".

I admit I haven't looked at deken yet. But isn't using externals kinda "cheating" about "nativeness"?

I wonder if something similar to the gui-plugins would allow to use tcl in specially named objects such as:

[tcl mytclabstraction]

and then that would use mytclabstraction.tcl
