I am certainly NOT lacking for options. I've actually played around with 
chuck before, too.

So far, the ones holding my interest the most are CLAM and Faust. CLAM 
because it has a graphical editor, and Faust because, well, not only can 
it prototype, but its output can be used in the final code, too. I also 
like the functional aspect of it, I can think more like a mathematician. :)

Thank you all for the replies.
