[chuck-users] static strings and the future

[Atte]

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
