Hello everyone,
I was wondering if there are any plans on porting FluCoMa to more languages, especially CSound and Chuck?
Hello!
The short answer is “not from the official team”.
The long answer: if anyone wants to lead it, i can try to help.
The context: I was keynote at last year’s International CSound Conference, and I was super impressed by the vitality of the community. I tried to woo a few developers to look at our code base, which would “only” need to have another wrapper for the CSound plugin to be ported. There are two, ocean-deep, caveats to this sentence: 1) the wrapper code is knarly so we need a C++ template ninja there ; and 2) the plugin interface of CSound was still unfinished last year… 3) nobody is full time on FluCoMa anymore. Actually, nobody is on staff at all. Some of us squeeze hours out of our workload to keep it afloat, when we can. I for one try to fund the next stages, but that doesn’t include covering CSound yet, although there was again talks last year on this… but funding for infrastructure maintenance and soft extension is almost impossible to find.
I hope this helps understand the situation. If you have ideas to make them happen, write to me here or at the official email info@flucoma.org and we can brainstorm something.
