Interesting. It uses libpd. Id didn't know much about libpd:
https://github.com/libpd/libpd/wiki
There's APIs for many languages and environnements,
including a recent for addon for OpenFrameworks:

Just keep in mind: libpd can only _run_ pd patches, you cannot
create/modify patches. Iff this is all you need than libpd might
be a valid replacement for Pd proper. Another obstacle to consider:
libpd doesn't provide any build-in way to handle audio data. You need
to write code to send/receive audio/midi data to your framework-of-choice.
On Linux that means writing quite some jack code (and, since libpd's
model of operation is push/pull, that code isn't really trivial).
That's where the example code is astonishing terse :-) :
----[file: cppTest$/src/main.cpp]------------------------------------
// fill inbuf here
pd.processFloat(1, inbuf, outbuf);
// use outbuf here
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Frankly, I'd rather write my GUI in Qt (or whatever) and communicate whith
a headless pd process by means of OSC or even "raw" pd messages.
