Hi Michael !
Thanks for sharing these links. "Field" has done quite some progress
since I saw Marc Downie's presentation in 2006 !
Compared to "Field", Rubyk has some important design differences, mainly:
1. Rubyk is not bound to any particular language (even though Lua is
used a lot, it's just through the "Lua" and "GLLua" objects). We could
have "Python" objects or "Haskell" objects or "Javascript". The idea
in Rubyk is not a "coding platform" but more a "signal processing"
tool in which you can mix languages.

2. Because of this modular design, Rubyk is made from the libraries
installed (objects compiled as dynamic libraries: Lua.rko, GLLua.rko)
and can therefore be used in very different environments (embeddable).
This means that we could have DSP or FPGA powered hardware running
Rubyk with specialized data processing objects.

3. And finally, Rubyk is made and meant for the network (clear and
simple API and protocols) so that we could have different user
interfaces, control surfaces, sequencers or whatever interacting with
Rubyk in many different ways.

4. Last but not least, Rubyk will compile and run on any OS supporting
POSIX threads and compiling C++ (Mac, Windows, Linux, BSD, uLinux,
etc). It is not limited to OSX (like Fields is now) or to platforms
that can compile Java (like Field will always be).

Cheers

Gaspard

PS: if possible, I'd like to keep this list in english because we have
non-french speaking members and it's nicer if they can understand all
the messages.
