Another live-coding environment that is quite nice (Haskell-based) is TidalCycles: https://tidalcycles.org

I wrote a whole album of material about 10 years ago with it, just remastered/re-released it. It's a fun way to write music while on an airplane!

Strudel is TidalCycles but in javascript.

yeah, but TidalCycles doesn't have the interactive code that shows you what is playing or have inline sliders :P

Strudel doesn't have all of the advanced features of TidalCycles. It really just depends on what you need. Strudel is easier to get started with, and definitely more visual/immediate, but TidalCycles has the full power of Haskell, longer history, and more advanced tooling. Either way, it's really nice to see people getting more involved in programmatic music, regardless of which tool they use. :)
