How are things going with Sonic Pi?[1] I have lots of fond memories and don't remember there being many strongly popular alternatives some years ago... though maybe I was living under a rock (..and roll).

Feels like more and more of these sorts of things are popping up. For example there's TidalCycles which is a Haskell version of the idea, which also exists as https://strudel.cc/ which is I believe a webasm version of it.

Other way round, no? TidalCycles predates Sonic Pi by a number of years

Really? Color me corrected I only ran into TC after SonicPi.

Though this entire discussion reminds me I need to fix my TidalCycles setup, had it working on Linux with vscode but I tried it out again a month or two ago and it wasn't playing anymore.
