[chuck-users] introduce myself

[henrique matias]

What i found so far is that Chuck is giving me pleasant results earlier, it
has a limited set of stuff ( compared to SuperCollider ) In my personal
case, the result was spending more time composing and playing than
"understanding the possibilities".

With SC is i felt was easier to get lost ( doing something probably
unrelated but very interesting ) before start actually composing something.
But that might be just the wrong example, and am not a good reference for
focus :P

About the way the timing happens on Chuck i do agree its very clear and fun
and straight forward! Really impressive!

Correct if am wrong, but AFAIK SuperCollider can also work in a similar way
( if not identical ) to chuck "time iteration" by using a "wait" message.

respect,
hems
