This redirect does not make sense, it is taking a subset for the whole. See discussion on Talk:Computer_music -- 24 December 2008, User:Atoll

Ok I've resurrected it with non-music specific content and some references to support notability. There are more magazine etc references still to dig out. I deleted the TOPLAP entry in the process and redirected it here. I haven't touched the Computer_music entry yet beyond linking here, which needs editing to make it focus on the music specific aspects of live coding. Yaxu (talk) 22:50, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the live coding environments list should be in alphabetical order, but in a table so we can categorise them according to e.g. base language, interface style, license, live coding style etc. Yaxu (talk) 11:44, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ludum Dare, 48h coding competition

Creating game in 48 hours in front of thousands of viewers. Is this live coding? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYBUCYUNn3Q (Notch coding "Escape" - 20.8.2011 livestream) Handscale1 (talk) 08:47, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The video has gone but if it's the one I am thinking of, I believe uses java debugging to hotswap functions, in which case definitely. Yaxu (talk) 17:30, 20 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Real time computing

I do not understand why someone is trying to relate live coding to real time computing in this article, without justification, reference or any reason that I can think of. I asked for an explanation in an edit comments which was ignored, so I'm doing it again here.

As I said in my edit comment, live coding does not involve direct manipulation so low latency is not at all an issue.

The RTC link goes to a subsection of the real-time computing article "Real-time and high-performance", I can't see what that has to do with live coding.

Agreed. I've removed the real time notion from the article. Some live programmers may use real-time systems, but it is not a defining property of live programming. Pygy (talk) 13:38, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Video

It was taking up a lot of space, which I found made the article unwieldy, so I made it a thumbnail. Yaxu (talk) 21:51, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
