Re: [sc-users] Why SuperCollider?

[Lucas Samaruga <samarugalucas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I think somebody, not me, can make an interview with James, would be
interesting.
Just like a practice:
A person made an speculation that SuperCollider (SC) is an inversion
of Csound (CS), is that true or just a coincidence?
Not matter, I'm satisfied with the answers.
I always drew attention to the name.

Thanks for all!
Lucas
