Just curious, why wouldn't there ever be a 64-bit version of GEM?
Apple reversed a previous decision and killed the 64 bit Carbon C/C++ API.
I've been thinking that a 64-bit build of Pd-extended would be nice to have,
especially because using 64-bit floats as Pd's native format would make it much more flexible. You could represent UNIX timestamps properly, for example.
64 bit double precision floating point has been available for ages and has nothing to do with 64 bit addressing.
