Which begs the question; why isn't OSC functionality included in Pd canonical? After all, OSC is the new defacto standard in control messages isn't it? And Midi functionality is included already in Pd.
I think, too, that OSC should be shipped with Pd main. It could be shipped similar too [expr] in it's own space.
Well, its been in the Pd-extended builds for a while. Plus I'll be
releasing Windows and Linux version of Pd-extended shortly, and a new
Mac OS X Pd-extended.app today

Frank I think yr on the right track in terms of making the user
experience easier. Like it or not, users want to download one binary and install it, or apt-get install it. Do you see it being possible to replace
pool functionality with the new list and data structures stuff?No. What is missing in Pd is a "hash" or "map" object, which allows fast lookup of data by keyword. Actually also a proper "vector" is missing, where one can store and retrieve lists by index number without having to traverse the whole vector sequentially.
News is what people want to keep hidden and everything else is
publicity.
