ChucK is a music programming language (and compiler/synthesizer) written by a professor (Perry Cook) and his students at Princeton University. I'm learning how to use it; I thought that writing about how to use it would help...

Chuck 1.2 - any date yet?

Chuck 1.2 - any date yet?


Hi Thor and Everyone,

We have continued development in full since NIME (for the most
part) and are going to do so until the release and beyond. We are
working on completing the core feature set before releasing 1.2.
We have everything except about 4 showstopper feature/bugs
that we feel needs to be in the release. (They include finishing
rudimentary garbage collection, stereo (very close), a pre-scanner
for the type system, and static data initialization). The main
additions (arrays, objects, events, and even basic OSC) are
completed and even tested.

However, I think it's hard to set a release date, since our earlier
attempts obviously weren't met. So we will keep going as fast as
we can until the last features/bugs are dealt with. We are close.

multi-channel is certainly planned for, but probably won't
be in the initial 1.2.0.0 release. However, it should follow
soon in a subsequent release. It is a high priority.

Best,
Ge!
