there is also chuck, that nobody has

Not really. Chuck code runs in a VM and does not compile to native machine
code. It also process blocks of samples, while faust and snd process one and
one sample. In this respect, Chuck is more in the same class of programs like
Supercollider, nyquist, csound, pd and many many others.
Actually, when thinking about it, I don't know how Chuck process its
samples. I just presumed that there is a different sample and data rate,
but I might be wrong. Its certainly different from faust and common lisp
music / snd realtime extension at least.

Anything but C/C++, yes. See FAUST [1], a compiled language designed
specificly for processing audio streams. Perl, Ruby, or Python, not
really.

The realtime extension for snd (scheme-like language) is another:

Here is a cool alsa softsynth written in that system:
