have a very quick question that isn't exactly pd related, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
i'm doing an interdisciplinary study (B.S.) in Sound Synthesis and DSP and am debating what comp sci classes i should take. is java useful for any synthesis / realtime applications or should i stick with C++? (i know java has a higher latency, but the object oriented code isn't machine proprietary... instant porting) that's all.
thanks,
christian

go away with c++, nobody wants that .. (my body doesnt at least) integer go farming jodel .. hahaha ;))
anyhow, do some java, its gonna do good ...... and yes, (try) kepp it REUSABLE, thanks (its hard enough, i cant even reuse my own code, ;) (no matter what lqanguage) (am i doing some "wrong", (very) probably(?))
all the experiences i ve with java so far, its only related to speed , but not in any way to quality of code bound to by the way of the language .. its also ultra advantage = networkability .. which is in some way (or the other) rpobly part of the the future .. (*giggle*) but still, have you heard of perl? ;))
you can still do java stuff which leaves you thinking longer than it takes the program to run, so much as for speed ,, sorry for gettgin esoteric ..
