ChucK is a lot of fun, I like the ways you can reason with time etc and always found it quite easy to use while SuperCollider always seemed a bit obscure in some respects.
I think ChucK has it's limitations in that the language / environment itself isn't as full featured / general purpose (and I'm not sure it's got such sophisticated ways of representing musical concepts, like doing operations on sequences). Also I don't think it's the most active project these days, but I'm sure there's still a critical mass of enthusiastic helpful people using it. Overtone seems like a win/win, given you know and like lisp... I've not really done anything real with it, but I used it long enough to get a very good impression of it. scsynth is very mature / well optimised / full featured etc, while Clojure is a popular modern language with access to lots of libraries etc. Have fun! p On 25 October 2014 14:43, plutek infinity <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2014-10-25 06:05, David Griffiths wrote: > >> On 25/10/14 03:10, plutek infinity wrote: >> >>> so, i'm interested in thoughts any of you might have about the >>> possibility of fluxus+fluxa really being a viable environment for what >>> i'm doing; my sense is that it's a real stretch to think that it's truly >>> appropriate -- which is truly a shame, because it is just simply such a >>> beautiful and intuitive thing! :( >>> >> >> Fluxa was really only intended as an experiment in a possible way of >> doing audio, rather than a do-everything production type of thing.
