I don't know about primary, but... Well, I suppose it should be 
possible to support such devices if designing with them in mind.

Only one or two guys are, apart from me... :-D

It's a VM based high level language, much like Lua, designed for real

Could do that too, but I'd like to focus on IFFT synthesis (massively

the "standard" sound device. More tweakable, more fun, and extremely
