SuperCollider is a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server as well as an interpreted Object Oriented language which is based on Smalltalk but with C language family syntax. The language functions as a network client to the sound synthesis server.
I want to show that the notion of scalability is every bit as valid when applied to programming languages as it is when applied to programs or algorithms. I'll also discuss several well-known and not so well-known programming languages from this perspective and give some concrete recommendations, as well as discuss some of the social factors which hinder progress in this field.
