Ever heard of it? Have an opinion? Just curious. Been kinda poking 
around it, neat little graphical DSP type thingy. Though looks crude, is 
quite flexible, a lot you can do with it.

Looks very hackish to me. I probably wouldn't like it.

The (very expensive) Reaktor software I have already does approximately 
this with audio. (But with cleaner abstractions.) And there's WinAmp's 
AVS and Milkdrop plugins that do roughly the same for video. 
(Unfortunately, those are quite hackish as well.)

IIRC, opinions are like a**h*l*s... everybody get one...

Yeah ... But, I have a morbid curiosity of Andrew's opinion :P

First Maxima, now this :P

Of course, Maxima just about lives on my desktop now... Has come in 
rather handy at times.

For me, PD is a novel toy...

Interestingly, I did some searches on the software just to see what it 
was all about. It was apparently used as a basis for the algorithmic 
music in Spore (OK, that isn't saying much ... given what a horrible, 
horrible disaster Spore was), but still, it's been incorporated in some 
other products/systems as well. I haven't really messed with the GL 
stuff. But, again, for me, its a platform for experimentation, basically.

I had a trial version of Mathematica for a while. It turns out most of 
the questions I can't answer are mathematically impossible. And for the 
handful of questions which can be answered, there's Wolfram Alpha.

Heck, even Mathematica annoyed my a little by being less perfect than I 
wanted. :-P


WTF?)

> For me, PD is a novel toy...

As I say, it looks too low-level for me.

I use GNUplot from time to time, and that annoys me with its lame 
interface too. I keep promising myself that some day I'll make a proper 
graphing tool...

Nah, mine is smelling a fine perfurm of subtile vanilla, rose and lily;
A real delicacy.

And as usual, our own fart have no odor at all. ;-)
