I don't know of one but I would be interested to see it too.

I would like to see it include a sub-branch for real-time musical
scheduling languages -- I think at least some of these supported on the
fly programming:

HMSL: http://softsynth.com/hmsl/

Streamer:

Worrall, David. 1990. “Streamer: A real-time performance and composition
software environment.” Australian New Music Conference, Brisbane.

=> MOXIE inspired the scheduling in impromptu and a number of Roger
Dannenberg's projects.
