Looks really nice, I'll be sure to try it out! For people interested in this, there's also a recent project https://github.com/overtone/overtone https://github.com/overtone/overtone which looks similar, using Clojure though (which seems to deem itself better to live programming).

Oh, the main contributor to Overtone is actually also the main contributor to Sonic Pi!

  Yeah, he started out with Overtone + a special emacs configuration (emacs-live) and had a short-lived duo called Meta-eX playing music using that setup: https://meta-ex.com/ https://meta-ex.com/

There is also Andrew Sorenson's [1] Extempore [2] which is also a Lisp. [1] https://twitter.com/digego https://twitter.com/digego [2] https://extemporelang.github.io/ https://extemporelang.github.io/

  Yep. In fact, lisps tend to pop up quite a bit in livecoding (and in other places, really). https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding is a nice curated list of live coding languages and tools.

In addition to Sonic Pi, I've also enjoyed experimenting with @neauoire's [0] Orca[1] and @yaxu's [2] TidalCycles[3]. Orca[1] is like a moving 2D functional programming crossword puzzle for generating sequences, be sure to watch some tutorial videos to get started. TidalCycles[3] is a lovely way to very concisely and quickly generate looping patterns of samples and tones, still getting my head around it.
