Take SC. I love the way the synthesis engine works and

be controlled using OSC. But, even as a programmer, that is
someone used to writing formal instructions and descriptions
in a text based format, I have to *fight* the SC language all
the time. IMHO it's a mess, and it seems to be designed to
allow spectacular one-liners rather than for clarity and
consistency.
I feel the same way.
I'm using it now only to write synthdefs, for
all the rest I use Python.
I'm a noob on this, and I think I don't really get what parts of the SC
I know are sclang and what scsynth. Using Python and OSC I guess you
can easilly play SynthDefs (because these are loaded on the server and
anyhow sclang communicates with OSC to the server), but do you loose all
the other nice stuff like Ugens, Tasks, Routines, Patterns?
I'd be so happy to be able to use supercollider's functionality in
python.
