I'm still
thinking about linking objects
A while ago I was thinking about a nice way to
display this type of
information without graphics.
ASCII graphics are still graphics, in they would be hard to read line by line in a single
or double-row LED display for example. which is what many digital musical instruments were
limited to for about 2 decades.
if you make the jump to using ASCII as graphics theres definitely been some work done on
dealing with n-dimensional node graphs

of course SCLang proves you dont need graphics to have a concise and readable graph
description, along with some algorithmic sugar..
Consider Om or AMS as an example: suppose we have a
sawtooth
oscillator node and a sampler node feeding into a filter node, and the
filter node feeds into the master sink node. We can just write that
as:
sink: filter
filter: sawtooth sampler
