For some reason, Coursera doesn't seem to have the page up any more, but there was a great MOOC about programming for musicians[0] that featured ChucK as the main language. They even featured the creator of ChucK in some of the videos. He's also the creator of some of the popular Smule Apps for iPhone, like the autotuning app "I am T-Pain"[1], which all feature ChucK under the hood.

That same course is now being offered on Kadenze: https://www.kadenze.com/courses/introduction-to-programming-...
Would this also work as a "music for programmers" course?
Great course. I really got strong footing with ChucK over that ~2 month period. https://soundcloud.com/kadenzeofficial/sets/student-portfoli...
Since it's also being discussed, I blogged about my experiences learning SuperCollider: http://subnaught.org/supercollider/archive/
