Hi guys,

Looks cool Thor, but (and im sure this has been answered before)
i'm still not sure why building sequences with characters is much
different from toggling lights on a stepgrid (real or virtual).
That said your demonstration was remarkably easy to interpret (even for
non coders) due to its visual similarity with standard step sequencers,
which is great in the whole 'transpareny' approach.

Again, Im sure this has been answered, but there must be certain
convolutions or functions that are handled more natively and naturally
by text based langauges (iteration? polymorphism?, inheritance?) and
therefore more relevent in livecoding than sequencing, which to me seems
  mainly a spatial issue (and therefore more graphical?)

Just my ruminations.
