Earlier quoted context omitted.

As always, the multi-media programming environments are miles ahead and nobody knows about them. Field is amazing. Max/MSP, Pd, et al. are a different paradigm altogether, but have had live editing, documentation a click away, etc. and have been in heavy use for 20+ years.

Where can I find a list of these amazing multi-media programming environments that I've never heard of before, but which look so awesome?

I was unable to find anything close to a definitive list, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_programming_language is a start.

Max/MSP, Pure Data, vvvv, QuartzComposer, SuperCollider, ChucK, Processing, openFrameworks, Cinder, and Field are the big names.

But there are many more smaller projects such as Lubyk, Overtone, LuaAV, Faust, Plask, Impromptu and Fluxus.

I also want to plug NoFlo, which is a 'flow-based programming' library for node.js, which integrates with a visual editor.
