Hey!
I've been also lurking here for what feels like forever (2005?). I started
with chuck because coming from a C++ish background it felt more natural,
but the fact that it was falling into abandonware-ish land, plus a desire
to get more into dynamic languages and some incredible JITLib examples got
me into supercollider 2 or 3 years ago.
I haven't livecoded in front of an audience, but I've tried very shortly
to improvise with musicians playing drums, guitar... I'm definitely not at
the point where I can be fluent enough to interact with them, but that's
something I'd really like to push.
Anyway, each time I play supercollider I'm kind of livecoding, as I use it
in a very exploratory, change-this, adjust-that, what-if way.
Nowadays I'm not coding very much music-wise, but still think it's (well,
in my case "can be") an approach that really resonates with me. So I can
see myself still lurking here in the years to come.
Cheers,
Jesus

> Sorry I'm late as well. I enjoy livecoding, in fact I have no idea how
to do a performance in any other way :) I often perform with Alex and
Ade in slub and have recently started trying some things with Till
Bovermann (so there are at least two of us in Helsinki). I work with
Gabor Papp on Fluxus, although not nearly as much as I'd like to at the
moment.

machinima (making films in realtime with game engines) and designing
strange languages and environments specifically for livecoding. I
encourage all livecoders to try designing their own languages!

broken and primitive compared to what might be possible. I have a hope
that things we do surrounding livecoding could maybe contribute to
fixing this situation and make computation more malleable for everyone
involved.
