I've been working on building a set of basic music patches simultaneously in ChucK, PureData, SuperCollider and Pyo. The idea is to produce patches which produce the identical sound, to illustrate the differences between the music languages. I have a long background as a C programmer. Because ChucK is C-like, I have had the least trouble learning it, of the 4 languages mentioned above. The simple stuff I implement in ChucK tends to work the first time. However, my musician friends who are not C programmers tend to find visual patching languages (like PureData and Max) far more intuitive. Performance-wise, ChucK seems to me to be the least performant of the 4 mentioned above, however, for my needs it works fine, and I look forward to doing more work with it.
