But it also applies to MAX and every other programming language. I said it in opposition to the kind of audio app (or video app) that gives you a feature set to which the problem must be fitted (or else, too bad for you).
Whenever I open any «audio app» other than Pd, all I can see is a bunch of limitations that is going to prevent me from doing what I want 30 minutes in the future. But when I say Pd here, it includes MAX.
The choice between Pd and MAX is not what I had in mind when I thought of the above slogan, and of « The diagram is the program ». In the comparison between Pd and MAX, I don't think we need slogans nearly as much as we need more features (even though Pd already offers a lot of unique tools).
