I mostly use it for learning things. How does this guitar pedal effect work? Why does this Eurorack module sound so good? How can I drive this MIDI instrument from this OSC controller? etc.

Ideally there would be an easy path from ChucK to implementing all of these things in hardware but I haven't quite got there yet.

Wow that's a serious amount of work! I might take another look.
