  And why do you use Chuck Atte?
      
 At first I was fascinated by the live coding capabilities, but in the
 end I never practiced enough to actually be able to do it live :-(
 What kept me in the loop was the very clear and well laid out
 documentation which in some way fitted well with where I came from in
 programming.
 What I love now are the algorithmic possibilities and the fact it's so
 easy to build your environment with OOP.
 However I'm reaching the limits performance wise. I almost finished a
 csound backend for my setup that let's me migrate cpu heavy parts (only
 sound generation) to csound. That might be my future solution.
 Otherwise I sometimes wish I learned supercollider in stead, since it
 seems to perform better and has some nifty tricks up its sleeve. I study
 supercollider in my spare time, but my live setup in chuck works and
 migrating 2 hours of interactive, algoritmic music is not a quick task
 however sleek the environment or how well you know it :-(
