hi scott,

your post is very interesting and highly valuable for my current research that involves supercollider, so thank you very much for sharing these observations! in most points i have had similar experiences and found similar problems with large scale supercollider projects (most apply already with medium-sized ones i think), so this kind of encourages me that i'm not being too idiosyncratic there.

while it is not aiming at replacing sclang as the code-on-the-fly environment, the framework i am developing, a supercollider client in the scala language, will address several of the issues you have mentioned, including the lack of debugging tools and compile-time checks, server execution order, and version control. at the moment, this is in alpha / planning stage, and i am soaking up the kind of input you just provided.

I've been excited about the possibilities of scala, based on your occasional comments. I've been getting my feet wet at attempting to add debugging to SCLang itself. It's been slow going, and it may prove impossible in the way I'm thinking about it, but at the very least it's given me a chance to dig deep and learn some more about SC's virtual machine (it's scary in there....).
