Rob;

What attracted me to ChucK was the fact that it is NOT graphically oriented. 

Me too. 

I often think graphical displays in music programs are distracting form focussing on the sound itself, even.

All of that aside; we could go make jabs at MAX and the like or even go into how many modern plugins have interfaces where no amount of vision will help you figure out how you are supposed to use them. What really interests me though is that something like ChucK could/should be a great tool for people who can't see or can't see that well to make electronic music.

I suspect a lot of advances in interface design could be made there, not just with support for screen-readers, but also things like interface and error sonification that could help everyone, not just the blind. I think it's a good thing that there's renewed interest in this.

Yours,
Kas.
