[Fluxus] rubyk & fluxus

[Gaspard Bucher]

On the interoperability side, I have been working for two years on an OSC
based protocol to ease inter-application communication (easy discovery of
apps and features, method signatures, easy to subscribe to signal slots,
remote update, etc). The OSCit project (http://rubyk.org/oscit) and library
is slowly stabilizing (there is even a wiki to discuss decisions:
http://xdif.wiki.ifi.uio.no/OSC_Plug_And_Play). I'll probably move oscit
from UDP to zeromq for reliability and size of messages.

I can start the Impromptu war: it's for the elite who can afford a high end,
newest mac laptop. Want to be stuck eating bad hyped apples all your life,
go ahead !

A paid beer to have some free speech or a free beer to shut up ? Or just
penguin alcohol (homebrew, no cost, will make you sick) ?

;-)

I read ChucK fluently, way faster than I can (currently...) read Scheme and

Agreed.

Impromptu can tweak sound through some JIT compilation of scheme inside
custom audio units (uses LLVM).
