Oh, here we go again . To most normal people, Computer languages
are not religious issues!  However, we do enjoy discussing pros and cons
of various languages. In fact, to me, the reason I enjoy discussing the
merits and drawbacks of specific languages is precisely to *avoid*
turning the language into a religious (read "irrational") issue!

An off-topic language discussion/debate doesn't equate to languages
being a religious issue!

Well, now, that I'm *completely* off topic, I'll just say bye :-)

hi 

i agree with you about csound being a thing which is shared most

passionately and allmost religeously.

would you enjoy rewriting pluck with me?

i can visualize how to do this with bucket brigades.

you run the outputs of two buckets into each others input following the 

convention laid down by en ( or perhaps it was pop electronics) a couple  
of months ago.  use a vco as a clock input to sr.

then fm the clock with a bit of  feedback signal.

to do this with the pluck ? 

hmmm.
