Dear all,

I fully agree with Johann here - both on the substance and on the spirit of his message. I feel that csound need to gain in clarity for pedagogy, and long-term maintainability (global variables, UDO void, ..).

I understand Victor’s position regarding the upcoming 7 release, but at the same time, it would be valuable if developers could at least acknowledge and document these ideas, so they can be discussed and refined after 7.0 is out.

In short, we acknowledge some open discussion, but it’s too late to change things now. So yes, let’s freeze the code, but not the conversation.
Let’s keep gathering inputs; it can only be beneficial.
For exemple, great news for bool and boolk - I just discovered cs7 new uppercase and lowercase feature about boolean and personally I prefer by far this bi, bk or bool and boolk idea.

These observations and discussions are a treasure even if it’s too late. As a trusted user, I feel we should care more about these feedbacks rather than close it too quickly. Are they more an issue here? Only Victor takes the time to answer. Thank you for that.
Should we open a real thread on the forum about CS7, maybe?
