I'm not all convinced this is what happened here, since that rant is a bit crazy, but I can see it. I don't actually think that rant is all that serious anyway.. if you look further in his blog he's got a quick post about how easy it was for him to write a quick drum machine in ChucK.
It was about how easy it was for *me* to write a quick drum machine in ChucK (and some attacks on the manner I chose to present it). I responded because his words carry weight in the Ruby community and I wanted to put his ravings in perspective for people who know nothing about ChucK. Archaeopteryx and ChucK make an interesting combo, by the way. With a little work you can get ChucK to auto-reload in synchrony with Arx (on measure boundaries), and even close the loop with a minimal OSC server in Arx (with rosc or something). I've used it to make controller values available during rhythm calculation. -- Tom Lieber http://AllTom.com/
