Another very new contender is Vessel, a (micro)sound synthesis
package for Lua:

http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/%7Ewakefield/lua%7E/Wakefield_MSThesis_MAT07_Vessel.pdf

A Linux/Pd version is in the works. Check the lua-av mailing list for
status: http://zydeco.mat.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/lua-av but it's
alrady producing sound. Vessel is not quite Free Software yet because
of a dependency on a non-free package (synz) that may become free in
the near future.

Lua has some nice functional properties as well and may be a bit
easier to learn than Q or Lisp. It's big with game programmers
already.

Maybe Vessel can be married with Faust as well, like the Q/Faust
coupling?

Ciao
