Geez Frank, you went and got serious on me ;-)
I just took it as a cheap excuse to do some more propaganda, sorry. ;)

remember though - scripting languages are not compiled so
they're much slower.
Not Pd. (Or AMS,...) Those modular systems are very optimized tools,
which have no real speed disadvantage compared to directly compiled
applications. There is a little bit of overhead, but nothing to worry
about in almost all realworld scenarios. Pd even can use plain C as
scripting language which is compiled on-the-fly using Kjetil's k_cext
external, but I admit, that's a bit exotic (though it actually works).
