Why is yours better than the rest?
i am not on the chuck dev team, so i speak only for myself. in the open source audio world there's less an emphasis on 'better' in the way that microsoft may promote vista as 'better' [for microsoft shareholders mostly]. these projects are run by volunteers and usually advocacy [or 'advertising'] is the lowest priority [not always].
How is it different?
search the mailing list. you'll have to do this work yourself. but i think you should spend some time thinking about what you want and how you like to work first.
I want to learn and need a place to start.
1. download chuck 2. rtfm 3. produce audio 4. try to make it better [keep repeating steps 2-4] also, you can replace chuck with csound or pd for two differeing views into digital audio. and even though you say you are not a programmer, if you're going to use a computer to make music, it is very helpful to learn how it works [which means understanding something about programming].
This project, if successful, would mean the realization of a beautiful vision.
good luck! -- \js [ http://or8.net/~johns/ ]
