Hi.
It would be good to hear from the devs about what ChucK is up to
right now, but I want to point out that development hasn't
stopped. The GitHub source code repo shows quite a few changes
were just checked in, including what appears to be a new
"chuck-engine-2017." I just pulled the changes and I'm curious to
read the source code and see if there's are new features or a
performance bump.
I would say that there is a need for improved
documentation--always a huge problem in FOSS--and the recent
Kadenze courses and book are a move in the right direction. It
would be really nice to have some updates from the devs and a way
to build the community around ChucK. Maybe that's more on us than
the devs.

Hi,
I'd like to ask the same question about the development status.
the only thing I can say is that also if the development seems to
be a bit stuck, on the other side I noticed that they're pushing
on the educational side (see Kadenze courses), and if you look at
the github repository, there's been some update in the last 2
years.
but as you guys said, it's important to know what's the plan ;)
it's a couple of years I'm really diving into ChucK and I strongly
believe that is a good programming language which opens up a lot
of possibilities that other languages don't.
but at the same time I feel like it's been a bit abandoned (maybe
that's a huge word, let's say put aside ;) ) and of course using a
"tool" which has an "uncertain future" it's not the best thing.
I wish I was able to offer my contribution to the development, but
unfortunately I'm not really into C/C++, I'm more a "scripting
language guy" :)
btw, it would be nice to hear what developers and/or other users
have to say about it.
cheers,
Mario

Yes, I'm wondering the same thing. There's
a Facebook group
(https://www.facebook.com/groups/1593843507578422/) but it
doesn't look super active either.
As far as static strings: I'm pretty sure you just can't have
static non-primitives. What are you trying to achieve?

Hi
I've been away for a long time and surprised that activity
seems to have slowed down a lot, both on the development of
new releases chuck and the life of this list. Am I looking at
the wrong places? What's the status of chuck development now
and in the future?
I really like chuck (mostly the timing and sporking including
Machine.add()), should I look other places for a language that
will privide a more secure future? I'm on linux and looked at
Csound, Super Collider and PD, each has it's challenges in how
I work (realtime generative and algorithmic MIDI), python
seems to have realtime problems (garbage collection at random
points). Any idea what former chuck users have switched to
now?
Back to chuck! A problem that I never been able to solve,
static strings:
public class A {
"b" @=> static string B;
public static void C(){
<<<B>>>;
}
}
That throws an error, how would I go about what I'm trying to
do?
Cheers
