SuperCollider, sometimes with JITlib, but not necessarily.
Livecoding itself is for me not only a performance style, but also a way to
develop work quite quickly during production time. Setting up my environment
in such a way that I can change things quickly on the fly facilitates the
work process a lot.
My most thrilling experience of live - debugging was during a sold out show of
a dance performance in Paris (Creteil, EXIT festival), where I fixed a bug
which turned off the light of a table on stage, at times where it was
supposed to be on (this was a complex system where stage lights were both
controlled by a dynamic state system and in a traditional cue system, which
interfered at this point). I was fixing that code as the show went on, while
at the same time keeping up with my cues, and catching up with the symptom of
the bug whenever it happened.
I'm not sure whether this is relevant to the questionnaire ;)

I think only SuperCollider.
I glanced briefly at Fluxus for some 3D stuff, but then found scgraph :)
But I made a well informed choice for SC (not just for livecoding), after
seeing a whole bunch of other audio languages.
sincerely,
Marije
