== Language limitations ==
Though a powerful language, Pd has certain limitations in its implementation of object-oriented concepts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://pedrolopesresearch.wordpress.com/2010/03/02/possibilities2-audio-layer/|title=Possibilities#2: Audio Layer|date=2 March 2010|access-date=5 January 2017}}</ref> For example, it is very difficult to create massively parallel processes because instantiating and manipulating large lists of objects (spawning, etc.) is impossible due to a lack of a constructor function. Further, Pd arrays and other entities are susceptible to namespace collisions because passing the patch instance ID is an extra step and is sometimes difficult to accomplish.
