the gui is pretty useful though because it allow you to look up help for statements in your code. this is necessary to do anything because everything is completely unintuitive and nonsensical, so you constantly need to be racing through the docs to make anything interesting

This is 20 years ago, but I always wrote scripts in perl to generate the orc and sco and then generate the audio. I remember it being petty fun. Maybe it's gotten more complex since then. Lots of things were more fun twenty years ago, or maybe it's just declining executive function.

I dunno, have things gotten less fun?
