when I look through miller's tutorial patches, I often find ";-messages" instead of a send object like: [;detune $1( vs [s detune] I wonder why, is there a significant difference?
I cannot speak for Miller, but one difference with message-senders is, that you send to various receivers in one go:
[; detune 0.2; freq 440; vol 80; ...(
which sometimes is handy for initializing many things with one click and in a central place.
Also msg-bangs will warn, if there is no receiver available. send-sends just send and ignore it, if they send to nothing.
is one more efficient then the other
send-sends are much more effective than msg-sends, I suppose mostly because of dollar-variable replacements. See attached benchmark-patch.
