Addenda:

Csound includes integral GUI widget opcodes (FLTK-dependent) to enable 
the more-or-less easy construction of user-interfaces for your synths. 
Some remarkable examples already exist, see http://www.csounds.com for 
references.

Csound also now has an API, so you can create standalone synthesizers 
that can access the incredible wealth of Csound's synthesis primitives, 
signal processors, MIDI opcodes, and so forth. Very cool, very new, not 
very well-exploited yet.

And for those who care, Csound is far more 64-bit friendly than either 
SC3 or ChucK (both of which are nice, but they have troubles with 64-bit 
hardware).

Best,
