You're right in assuming that most any language can be used to write music programs, but I would have to say that most are done using C and assembler for speed considerations.

Ok I'm sorry, just my sad little joke...

Ooh mummy look at the sad bastard.

Quiet Timothy, he's just pathetic.

etc, etc ,etc

If it's any consolation, I once had a discussion with someone about 'my favorite assembler instruction'. Well you don't get mutch geekier than that!

I think the main real-time programs like audio sequencers and MIDI+audio sequencers and soft synths are done in C/C++, and in the windows world use some hand-written assembler in key areas to get the necessary speed.

I'd venture that you could do the same in Delphi (compiled Delphi is often as fast as compiled Borland C++, they use the same back end code generator) with some assembler routines, but since Delphi is fairly new and windows only, and a lot of the apps are ported from other platforms, nobody would have used it.

I know that some non-real time proggies such as patch editors and non-realtime soft synths and sound creation proggies are definitely done in Delphi or even VB.

KILL HIM!!! KILL HIM!!!!!
No, not really - I have come to the conclusion that programming is in fact a creative art-form.

It could be but usually it is not, resulting in things like ms windows and 90% of todays 'advanced, user friendly' shit out there.

well then there's a difference between self-interest programming, synergetic programming (which is the same as the first???...) and working a market. just blowing air.
personally i don't have a clue; the only language i know is basic. i once wrote a 128 k program that wrote sequences, arrangements and lyrics for goofy little pop songs (quite a bit of fun. will have to redo it now that i have some quality sounds.) but for product? aha! you could ask mr. arai (i think that's how you spell it.) anyway. go to http://www.excla.com and leave a message. he's japanese, in japan, but a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful sort who makes his living off writing sound software. he was working on a voicesynth for korg in addition to the utilities downloadable from his page.
oh yes... and like nerds need anyone to defend them!
