Quoting matteo sisti sette matteosistisette@gmail.com:
Otherwise, think about converting some of the abstractions to subpatches
Please don't interprete what I'm gonna say as sarchastic or offensive to whom wrote the above sentence (which however has been suggested by more than one person). Just take it as a general and (hopefully) constructive discussion about PD issues...
Would you ever say to someone writing an application in C++:
"Think about converting some of your functions to macros"???
That is just not an option.
hmm, since when are macros bad?
especially in C (not so much in C++) i could imagine situations where
i would tell somebody to "convert some of your functions to macros".
And converting abstractions to subpatches is much more limiting than that.
Inefficiencies in handling a great number of instances of abstractions are a great obstacle to applying "good" programming practices to PD patches. Using and reusing a great number of abstractions with many many levels of nesting is the only reasonable way (I can think of) of developing a large, complex, scalable, reusable "application" in PD.
well yes you are right.
however, it is perfectly possible to do develop large complex scalable
and resuable applications in Pd (sometimes i do this)
