While Rohan's bindings to SuperCollider are great, I have found that 
SuperCollider itself is quite difficult to understand for a new user. 
(My tomata-rubato project aims to be much easier to learn.)

Also, as far as I am aware, you can't do low-level audio programming in 
SuperCollider, i.e. play a list of samples that you've calculated 
yourself. That's cool if you're only interested in sound design, but bad 
for learning how audio programming works.
