Please pardon my off-line interest. Trying to avoid the code, whilst trying to find the Purpose. Is there one? I don't mean that to be rude. It is not necessary to have a purpose. Your focus on Smalltalk and Streaming, is most signicicant to me at the moment. I see a need for the concept of IDE, from the POV of the subject i.e. mySelf. This Integration is not from the top down, but from the bottom up. This demo immediately presented to my imagination and entire orchestra. With mySelf in the role as conductor. Perhaps even contol it? Is this over stretching the metaphor? Very impressed Justin Walsh

Hi all--
A while back I mentioned Quoth, a dynamic interactive fiction system I'm writing with Spoon[1]. I've made a site for it[2], featuring a short demo movie[3], showing it being used for "musical livecoding"[4]. It's rather fun!
I'm preparing a release, to be delivered via Naiad, Spoon's module system.

Hi Justin--
Trying to avoid the code, whilst trying to find the Purpose. Is there one?
Yeah! There are three:
- to support live music programming in a way that an audience can follow. We use projectors so that the audience can see everything we do, as we do it. This is "livecoding" (once again I can plug http://toplap.org :).
- to make "text adventures" easier to write, by be able to write them from the point of view of the "player-character"
- to provide a "shell" alternative to the traditional Smalltalk workspace.
Also see the "motivation and influences" section of the Quoth site.

No, that sounds reasonable. :)
