• JStar http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/research/jstar/index.html
• “ We aim to make it easy to write high-performance parallel programs that can be retargeted to a wide variety of computer architectures. We are developing a new style of parallel programming, which separates the program logic from the parallelism details, and enables a program to be moved easily from one computer architecture to another. ”

• SuperCollider http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/
• SuperCollider is an environment and programming language for real time audio synthesis and algorithmic composition. It provides an interpreted object-oriented language which functions as a network client to a state of the art, realtime sound synthesis server.

• FAUST- “Is a functional programming language for realtime audio signal processing. The Faust compiler translates DSP
  specifications into efficient Cpp code. A variety of plateforms and plugin are supported (jack, alsa, ladspa, max, Q, vst, …) ”

• CSound - « Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and signal processing. The language consists of over 1300 opcodes - the operational codes that the sound designer uses to build “instruments” or patches. Although there are an increasing number of graphical “front-ends” for the language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor. Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the “instruments,” and a .sco (score) file containing the “notes. »

• Squirrel http://www.squirrel-lang.org/#overview
• “Squirrel is a high level imperative, object-oriented programming language, designed to be a light-weight scripting language that fits in the size, memory bandwidth, and real-time requirements of applications like video games. ”

• Serpent http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~music/aura/serpent-info.htm
• ” A real-time language for music and animation. Serpent was designed and implemented as a stand-alone, general purpose interpreter. Serpent is perhaps ideal as a game scripting language due to its real-time design and support for external C++ objects and C functions. “

• UrbiScript http://www.urbiforge.org/
• ” Urbi is an open-source software platform to control robots or complex systems in general. It includes a C++ component library called UObject. “

• Giotto Language - “The Giotto system consists of a time-triggered programming language, a compiler, and a runtime system. Giotto aims at hard real-time applications with periodic behavior. ”

• PtolemyII - “Ptolemy II is an open-source software framework supporting experimentation with actor-oriented design. Actors are software components that execute concurrently and communicate through messages sent via interconnected ports. A model is a hierarchical interconnection of actors.”

• Atom (Haskell) - “Atom is a Haskell DSL (domain specific language) for designing hard realtime embedded software. Based on guarded atomic actions (similar to STM (Software Transactional Memory)). ”

• X10 programming language - X10 is a strongly typed, concurrent, imperative, object-oriented programming language designed for productivity and performance on modern multi-core and clustered architectures. X10 augments the familiar class-based object-oriented programming model with constructs to support execution across multiple address spaces, including constructs for a global object model, asynchrony and atomicity.

• Chapel programming language - « A parallel programming language, designed to improve the productivity of high-end computer users while also serving as a portable parallel programming model that can be used on commodity clusters or desktop multicore systems. Chapel strives to vastly improve the programmability of large-scale parallel computers while matching or beating the performance and portability of current programming models like MPI. »

• Berkeley UPC - Unified Parallel C - An extension of the C programming language designed for high performance computing on large-scale parallel machines.

• MPI - The Message Passing Interface Standard - A library specification for message-passing, proposed as a standard by a broadly based committee of vendors, implementors, and users.
