It would be great to add procedural scripting to Pd. Here are the issues I forsee.

1. Wait until Pd "data structures" solidify. Then integrate this feature

into your scripting language.

2. Beware of batch time garbage collectors. They can easily ruin a real

time process.

Of course, python's gc is not rt, but that doesn't stop Joe from having a great time with GripD (http://mambo.peabody.jhu.edu/~jsarlo/gripd).

New pure-data.org "real soon now".
