pnpd/nova is a new dataflow-based computer music system. It's syntax shares a common subset with max-like languages like Pd or Max/MSP, but introduces some new concepts to the dataflow language, especially it introduces an extended and extendable message type system, data encapsulation and namespaces. Currently, it doesn't provide a graphic user interface, but contains a compiler for a text-based patcher language and a command-line interpreter, which can be controlled via osc. The audio synthesis engine is designed for supporting low latencies and is optimized for high performance.
