I cannot speak for Miller, but one difference with message-senders is, that you send to various receivers in one go: [; detune 0.2; freq 440; vol 80; ...( which sometimes is handy for initializing many things with one click and in a central place. Also msg-bangs will warn, if there is no receiver available. send-sends just send and ignore it, if they send to nothing. > is one more efficient then the other send-sends are much more effective than msg-sends, I suppose mostly because of dollar-variable replacements. See attached benchmark-patch. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
