Great to see Orca on here! Really really fun to play with for generative music; I made a song with it last year that I posted: https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVjW7LBv1K/

I also learned a lot from watching Allieway Audio's Orca series on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeo2Fo1OidWpT83BT5xmCZw/vid...

Orca is fascinating because it is so limited compared to most "programming languages", and trying to figure out how to express ideas 1) compactly, 2) without abstraction or recursion, and 3) flexible enough for real-time editing, is a great, rewarding challenge.
