>There are many python based GUIs that perform orders of magnitude better than
Pd when it comes to screen drawing performance. Max/FTS was 20+ years ago,
scripting languages have come a long way since then. The current situation
guarantees crappy performance because it forces things to be implemented in a
way that avoids graphics optimizations. In Pd's current architecture, things
need to be handled incrementily and over a network socket. In any decent
graphics programming environment, updates can be handled en masse.
I'm curious what your plan is for making a clean separation between the core
and the gui without breaking binary compatibility. Pd-l2ork, which
unfortunately
does break binary compatibility, does some gui updates en masse by leveraging
canvas
item tags to move the objects. If there's a way to do that and keep binary
compatibility
that would be great.
