The server appears to, since at least November 2005. As for the
language, it appears it only runs at 32. McCartney says:

"There shouldn't be any problem running it as a 32 bit app on a 64 bit machine.
SClang cannot be compiled for 64 bit because it relies on
sizeof(Object*) < sizeof(double).
This would require significant reworking to fix."

and

"I don't really see a big need to run the language in a 64 bit address
space, though."

See this thread:

I haven't used things like Rohan Drape's Scheme or Haskell
SuperCollider clients, so I can't really say much about them.

I boot scserver and SuperCollider appears in Patchage automatically
hooked up to the audio outs. I can swap things around, like patching
SuperCollider into various channels in Ardour, Jamin, JAAA, or other
apps. I can patch audio into SuperCollider. I'm not using esd or
anything, if that's what you mean.
