I'm currently taking a class taught by the creator of Chuck, Ge Wang. Great guy. He always tells people that Chuck "crashes equally on every platform". I find ChucK to be a pretty easy language to get into. It lends itself really well for algorithmic composition and live coding. I have quite a bit of fun with it! A big downside to ChucK is that it has a very limited set of unit-generators for sound, and it's very hard to do any sophisticated synthesis and sound design. That being said, it's pretty easy to build third party chuck plugins (called "chugins"). I really like working with Csound, so I built a Csound chugin: https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/ChuckSound https://github.com/PaulBatchelor/ChuckSound
