ChucK is a strongly-timed, concurrent, and On-the-fly Audio Programming Language.

ChucK vs. TextMate

A Bundle to edit ChucK files in the TextMate editor is created at Github.

To install it execute in Terminal:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles \
git clone git://github.com/tasmo/ChucK.tmbundle.git ChucK.tmbundle

This works in the Sublime Text editor as well.

vim

VIM is a highly configurable text editor built to enable efficient text editing.
It is an improved version of the VI editor distributed with most UNIX systems.

ChucK vs. vim

For .ck syntax highlighting in VIM you will need vim.ck.
A file opened in VIM you can add to an already running ChucK by typing in VIM:
:r! chuck + %
to have a shorter command* in VIM, add to your ~/.vimrc:
cnoreabbrev CH r! chuck + %
and the command
:CH
will do it.
