Discussed issues around SuperCollider versioning and standalones

Some points of discussion:

  • ease of learning - interactive learning environment

  • interoperability with other technologies (web, etc, LSP?)

  • standalones - for performers

  • multiple versions of supercollider

    • dev work

    • possible, but very difficult currently

    • backward compatibility

    • run ‘from a USB stick’

  • app bundle design

  • server/IDE/language search paths
