you mean supercollider?
it runs on most platforms now... osx, linux, and windows...
algorithmic composition has been in and out of fashion for several
centuries by now, so it's no wonder when composers now try and use
programming languages to formulate more complex algorithms.
How it is eventually presented to the interpreter (be this a human
musician or some machine) is another question.
