I think it actually makes it as easy as it will get. Licences give you extra options. Sure; options under certain conditions, but they are options that would not otherwise be there.
----- A*bit of OT*-----* I must say your point of view of Supercollider is completed*mistaken. Its not cause most of the code you find is ugly, that the language is ugly. Actually from all the languages you were able to link in your email, SuperCollider is probably the one that lets you do the most beautiful code, its all about how capable you're.
Sorry, you lost me for a moment. Did I say that? SC took a bit of a "kitchen-sink" approach to syntax; giving many options for many things. That -I am sure- is really cool if you'd like to write "poetry" in it, I also gather it can be confusing if you are a novice and would like to find the common ground between 5 examples by different authors. It does take a lot more from functional programming which I agree often leads to beautiful code. Then again I find a certain beauty in ChucK's tendency to be straightforward and sometimes a bit blunt too. You can get ugly or beautiful in any language. I swear I even saw readable Perl once ;-) Yours, Kas.
