Hi all,
Sorry for arriving so late in this thread, but no one mentioned this...

I see a free software tool that does what Pd does and outputs code as an inevitability, sooner or later, it's just the logical thing to do. It's just that I'm rather scratching my head wondering why it doesn't do so already. Perhaps I've forgotten some fundamental reason why exploding the netlist into a code listing might not be trivial, reenterancy maybe,
Well possibly the fact that most pd patches are not strictly procedural, a list of instructions that is run through once. Messages can arrive at any time to modify what is going on...
...and Pd internal messages can change the program while it is running - self-modifying code would be a "fundamental reason why [that] might not be trivial".
