lush?
http://lush.sourceforge.net/
I toyed with it a little and it seems like a fairly powerful piece of
software. Uses it's own lisp dialect. I haven't done any real tests
but on some more or less simple thingies it outperforms processing.
It has bindings for opengl, sdl, opencv and a bunch of other
mathematical/scientific and image/matrix processing libraries. There
are even alsa bindings and perhaps it wouldn't be too difficult (for
someone in the know) to add jack. The thing is that it's quite
low-level so there are not many ready-to-go routines for image
processing (unless I missed some piece of information somewhere). I
think that the software is still being slowly maintained/updated but
at a very slow pace (haven't really followed in a long while).

Has anyone compared processing with pygame (performance wise especially?)
I used lush years ago for some algorithmic image generation. I
remember having some complaints about the incompatible compilable and
non-compilable languages that are embeddable in the same source file,
but I was less skilled a programmer then. I think I may try making
some lush jack bindings this weekend, just to see how it works out,
because jack is a tiny api and lush hits a sweet spot for me in a few
ways, being a lisp, easy to use at a low level, compilable to shared
libraries and able to use c shared libraries with little trouble. A
lush library for generating LV2, LADSPA, or DSSI would be interesting,
as well.
