What is the possibility of having some of the algos from TB2 made available via CLI? I’d like to port them into REAPER to get a bit more hands on with using them in a sound design capacity. Taking a look at the wrapper now I believe some objects might automatically be able to go without much modification. `fluid.bufaudiotransport~`, `fluid.bufnmfcross~` for example.
Is there some complexity to this I am missing? Like a new wrapper being required?

Pretty much 😆 There are two big changes, and a bunch of smaller ones. The big ones are allowing for objects to expose arbitary messages (like `fit`, `transform` etc), and to handle pools of objects that have names (like `FluidDataSet` and `FluidLabelSet`). Because both changes were implemented swedish chef style, they have wrought havoc on the Max and SC wrappers (which have bloated as a result), and changed the API for objects in some messy ways. The plan is to refactor out some of this badness before doing the PD and CLI stuff.
_With that said_ , I’ll do some gratuitous speculation:
1. the whole business of named objects doesn’t obtain in the CLI context: a ‘dataset’ will have to be a file, and – in the first instance at least – I imagine chaining together operations will be done through shell scripting.
2. The messages is a more interesting one, but (off the top of my head), something like the `git` convention of `git ` would be the way, e.g. `FluidKDTree knearest --model myfitttedtree.json --data somedatapoint.csv`

This looks quite pretty. Although please lowercase that binary name for my eyes :). So I assume the more simple objects that do nothing with datasets but operate on buffers suffer from some differences in the way the wrapper looks now. I look forward to some CLI things to play with 🙂

references to Muppets are always making a great day.
