There's also Orca:
> Orca is a two-dimensional esoteric programming language in which every letter of the alphabet is an operator, where lowercase letters operate on bang, uppercase letters operate each frame.
I'm just going to mention Pure Data here, because I'm always surprised when people don't know about it. https://puredata.info/
I use it in my art and music practice to interface with hardware like a GameTrak controller, and to control drone motors for bowing/drumming physical things for computer controlled electroacoustic music. I also use it at a university lab for the development of assistive musical instruments for disabled musicians. It is both an extremely useful tool, and an incredibly fun musical playground for the mind.
The Plugdata variant of Puredata is particularly handy. https://plugdata.org/
Plugdata can run as a plugin in your DAW, compile to a standalone plugin, and compile and load sketches onto a Daisy Seed (https://electro-smith.com/products/daisy-seed).
This is awesome, the filters sound excellent and UI is great.
This is super cool, I really like the inline visualization and controls.
Why is this embedded in this Whop thing? That sounds like something on its own
I really want to see what would happen if you got a musically talented math teacher to teach a bunch of kids trig, music, and programming with this...
well done! flipped to 1 4 5 just to see what would happen and it didn't miss a beat (literally and figuratively).
Simply... amazing
It looks cool but I wasn't able to get any audio when I started playing.
iOS 26.4.2, Safari, sound is on.
Shoutout to Sonic Pi (https://sonic-pi.net/) for still being the best at this.
Obligatory https://strudel.cc/ mention, same thing bit different, have made music in any of them. But I follow artists that use strudel.
https://strudel.cc has been the most intuitive music livecoding experience I've come across. In-line piano rolls and waveform visualizers, highlighting current notes - I love it. I'm currently halfway through making an album entirely in Strudel
