Hmm..... quite a bit of CLM and Common Music (under Common Lisp and 
latter S7 Scheme -  thanks Bill, Rick!), sometimes inside SND. For all 
interactive stuff SuperCollider, augmented by supernova which is the 
synthesis server that is multi-core aware. A while back some interactive 
stuff using Objective C + music APIs in the NeXT using a customized 
Radio Drum :-) Much much older stuff written in Smalltalk V (writing 
some MIDI object oriented environment).

Also some Faust to create SC uGens or small standalone programs, but so 
infrequently that every time I tackle another Faust code snippet I have 
to re-learn it, ha ha :-)
