I have been playing around with various environments etc for the last 5 years or so - on and off. I have tried diving into supercollider (http://www.audiosynth.com/) a few times but have never put anything hardcore together. I have also played with chuck and pure data. Anyone play around with any of these?
I mean when you think about it in terms of the mythical man month and the amount of entropy introduced with a merger its kind of interesting. Plus you have a bunch of processes going on here - consolidation, shift of resource etc. which generally dont win tech wars.
