Another very choice would be Supercollider. It is text based
and thus similar to Csound, but uses a much more object oriented and
modern approach. Csound is really very old-fashioned.
Csound is a bit like K&R-C, whereas Supercollider is more like
Smalltalk or even Python spiritually.

I guess you're referring to my LAD conference talk here. ;) It is
possible to use Pd for other, more serious things as well. But it is
heavily GUI dependent, so really different from text based languages.
