indeed very funny. i was flabbergasted to here this interpretation. but is it that far from the truth ?
It's as true as a Volkswagen is the successor of a Toyota, because they both have an engine and wheels.
Well, not quite. I mean, I agree that "sucessor" is not the correct expression here - especially when the author talks about "Max/MSP" and not of "Max" - but we have a family of software consisting of products like Pd, Max, jMax etc. where the original Max as written (mainly?) by Miller came first, and all others can be viewed as a kind of successors. (Of course all this is complicated even more by Pd being the base for the MSP-part of Max/MSP.)
Maybe like modern cars by Volkswagen and Toyota could be viewed as successors of the classic Benz automobile.
I like the comparison that Pd is like Max' younger, uglier, but smarter sister. But I don't know where I've heard this the first time. Any ideas?
Ciao
