Is there a modular audio environment like vcv/reaktor/max, where I could plug stuff together by typing text, instrad of mousing pips? I honestly tried to get into pd, but it felt like typing book using the character map.

Second vocal vote for that. It'd make it a more powerful tool and be less of a pain at the same time. Or at the very least some kind of remedial hot key navigation would be great too.

sonic pi is not exactly like modular but easier than pd

  If you like Haskell you might like Tidal Cycles[1] and if you like Clojure you might like Overtone[2]. [1] https://tidalcycles.org/ https://tidalcycles.org/ [2] https://overtone.github.io/ https://overtone.github.io/

there's also ChucK https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/language/ https://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/doc/language/

There's quite a few actually. The term is "live coding". Supercollider sounds like what you're after. You can even use vim :) https://github.com/pjagielski/awesome-live-coding-music https://github.com/pjagielski/awesome-live-coding-music here's a list of related stuff

  Saw a good talk at PyCon a couple of years ago about FoxDot, which is a wrapper around SuperCollider. Bit foggy on the details now, but it seemed like a good place to start.

Yes, most audio programming languages allow you to create DSP graphs by connecting nodes together. This is often done with some kind of pipe operator (for example, ChucK has the "chuck operator", Faust has a bunch of operators for connecting batches of nodes in different ways). My favorite approach is in Sporth: because it's concatenative, you don't need any operator, you just type the things you want to connect. Shameless plug, I made a playground for it: https://audiomasher.org/browse https://audiomasher.org/browse

I actually made something slightly like what you're looking for: https://noise.sh https://noise.sh It's certainly not as powerful nor polished as Bespoke but might be worth a look.

I'm the author of Scheme for Max and Scheme for Pd, open source (sibling) projects for scripting, live coding, and doing algorithmic music and sequencing in Max/MSP, Ableton Live, and Pure Data in S7 Scheme. I work in them using an OSC bridge from Vim so that I have a REPL in my editor controlling the environment entirely with lisp.
