Just in time programming (or: live coding, interactive programming, on-the-fly-programming, realtime programming ) is a paradigm that includes the programming activity itself in the program's operation. This means a program is not seen as a tool that is made first, then to be productive, but a dynamic construction process of description and conversation - writing code becomes a closer part of musical practice. SuperCollider, being a dynamic programming language, provides several possibilities for modification of a running program - this library attempts to extend, simplify and develop them, mainly by providing placeholders (proxies) that can be modified and used in calcuations while playing. There is some specific networking classes which are made to simplify the distribution of live coding activity.
