Hello there,
I just subscribed to this list today I'm now very glad to have done so. I
was actually searching for another environment usable for livecoding and I
got really interested in this one. Could you offer any more comments?
like... stability, versatility and that kind of stuff.
I'm no pro programmer and I don't know the language Lua, but it seems rather
simple.
Are either (Lua and Luaav) easily extensible?
Thanks
Raphael Santos
