    Tidalcycles actually runs SuperCollider as its sound backend, through the SuperDirt library: https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt/

    Another excellent Haskell based live-coding tool: https://tidalcycles.org/

    Even if you don't know Haskell, it is a delight to improvise electronic music with this library. It comes with its own mini-language for dealing with musical patterns and can synchronize with any instrument. Very extensible, the backend uses https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt, a SuperCollider extension for dealing with synths / samples / effects.

  • Libraries for (crossplatform) MIDI and OSC I/O?

    Cl-collider is really nice. However, I’m trying to design something so that I can be free from SuperCollider one day. I already programmed a library in Python targeting SuperDirt for live-coding. The drawback is that I’m now dependant on SuperCollider for almost any kind of I/O (OSC pass through SC and out, as well as MIDI).

    I appreciate the shoutout to Sporth! Admittedly, I haven't used it for quite a few years. But it still works just fine.

    In addition to being a part of AudioKit, it also has it's own repository as a self-contained command line program:

    I used to use a live-coding setup with Sporth centered around Vim, though it has never been added to the codebase. If anyone is interested in this, please feel free to email me at thisispaulbatchelor at gmail dot com.
