I've come across Overtone a few times and pretty much ignored it because I'm not a Clojure fan. But the Shadertone integration looks very appealing: https://youtu.be/kyL3xc7MzR0 https://youtu.be/kyL3xc7MzR0 I guess I should give this a go after all; thanks for the prod ;) Tidal is another interesting project in that vein (though without the visual part): https://tidalcycles.org https://tidalcycles.org The range of practical tasks for which this kind of tool would be my first choice is very narrow, but even if you have no clue what you'd do with it, it can be worth checking out for an afternoon just to experience a neat little declarative language that happens to go "beep boop [beep boop]" (yes, that is a snippet of valid code) as a side effect. The documentation makes installation/setup quick and easy enough that it's worthwhile even if you have no other use for SuperCollider and just do it for the language tourism, using the included default sound bank. For example you could try code-golfing a rumba clave.
