Well, other than performing (mainly with alex) lately, I'm currently
porting fluxus to the plt scheme interpreter. The reasons for this are not
entirely livecoding related, but are partly, as the drscheme IDE has some
nice ideas, for instance you can embed and use images directly as values
in the code:

At the moment you can write fluxus code in drscheme and render the results
to a window using it's native gui toolkit (mred). It isn't remotely stable
yet using fluxus this way, but it's very early days.
