[PD] OT: Poll: Csounds or SuperCollider or Chuck

[Epic Jefferson]

Thanks guys,  those are all great suggestions. And pyo looks interesting as
well. I agree with jonathan. perhaps with a code example equivalent to
SuperCollider's

>>// 128 sine waves with random freq mixed down to stereo:
>>{ Splay.ar(SinOsc.ar({ExpRand(100, 5e3)} ! 128)) }.play

in CSound, we could have a better idea of the different coding perspectives.
