I'm impressed with the true live aspect of this, not so much by the launching of pre-written scripts. Any livecoders here on em411? I'd like to hear some stuff done truly live.

chuck takes a bit of getting used to, anything that has a little swing and moves the timing out of a regular grid pattern gets very complicated. i never got to a point where i was feeling creative with it, it was more a geeky ego boost.

i might resurrect the stec project if i still have the source somewhere. it was stable and usable but the next step would've been to have a listener process that detects changes to any integer value and then automatically saves and reloads the file into the chuck vm. currently the process is to edit a file, save, remove it from the vm then re-add it to the vm to hear the changes - hardly concurrent programming.

the large icons in the image above are: server icons: chuck vm management, disk icons: add and remove shreds from the vm depending on what file tab is in focus, grey minus folder: remove tab from editor, yellow disk: save tab, brown icon: displays various settings of the running vm. to add new files to the editor you just drag them from the file chooser onto the tab pane.

the audicle: link acts in a similar way but i prefer my no-nonsense interface. there was/is a stripped down version of audicle (probably called audicle-light, can't remember [EDIT]: miniaudicle: link ) which is much easier to use though.

[EDIT2]: found an old copy in my gmail account that i'd sent to someone, feel free to try it: link - you need to have chuck installed and sat in sys32 directory to work, pc only. is an early version so a little instable.
