I would imagine that John ffitch committed Jsound precisely so that interested people could pick it up and improve it in time for Csound 5.

I wouldn't like to see another lengthy code freeze. If Jsound is postponed to Csound 6, then that will make it more difficult to merge new development that continues to be done in Csound 5. 

For that reason, I would prefer to see the parser implemented in Csound 5. 

However, it's OK with me if the parser is put off to Csound 6 as long as the general environment for Csound development remains as vital as it is today. In other words, if the parser goes into 6, then I would expect development to continue in 5 in spite of the need for merging.

Regards,
Mike

No, the parser should have been added in early stages of development,
not caring about how many things it breaks temporarily, rather than years
later when the development of Csound5 is otherwise largely complete and
close to a state that can be released. Now it is of course difficult to
catch up (especially since any work on the new parser is done by a single
person, and no one else has seen the code before, or understands it),
raising the question whether it is preferable to have it in Csound 6 only.
