Live coding for free

By -
In the chapter I read last night, Live coding allows the user to view items (pictures/sound)in real time. As shown in class, programs like pd and supercollider allow the user to create video animations and editing that would create 5 times as long to do in programs like photoshop. As shown also in class, items such as pd allow for greater flexibility (if you know how to program in it) over paying programs such as supercollider.
Another important factor of the program is how the user wants the program to run: either hot-swapping, temporal recursion, or even state injection. Overall, the ability to create a changing program that doesn't disrupt the output when you are doing so, will have major impacts in not only the music industry, but I believe the entire world in whole.
