Audio programming languages... the thing is interesting, but not very popular due to the presence of more "visual and understandable" programs. List:

Interesting(but logical), usually such things appear and develop at some university or institute. For example jMusic was born in Australia at the Queensland University of Technology. And ChucK is at Stanford and has "coast to coast mirrors" on opposite shores of the United States - at Stanford in the west and Princeton in the east.

But the idea is certainly not new. In the 1980s, Czech programmer and musician František Fuka created "Fuxoft AY Language", a miniature music programming language for the AY-3-8910 chip on the ZX Spectrum. And the tunes were good, I still listen in the emulator Yes, and on real hardware - I still have a working clone of ZX.

By the way, jMusic and JSyn can probably be added to the Java section of the forum.
