That single part with the quick inline slider really showed off some very clever UI for a REPL. There’s something very interesting in how this works that I think could be expanded beyond music for quick iteration.
If you haven't experimented with any systems they're surprisingly easy. Tidalcycles is probably the simplest of them all as it's a DSL built on Haskell rather than a broader language integration....

Tidalcycles will take a bit more setup, like having SuperCollider load those sample directories for me to call them but the paths still exist in the default setup. Strudel or pattrns (Renoise's library that supports Tidal micronotation) exist as layers on existing languages, making it a bit more complicated. Though, I tend to have 909bd, 909hc 909ho as my dirs for the above with my own samples, but it's still not as crazy as it looks.
If you wanted to get into it at all Sean Cotterill has a stellar guide using plain old SuperCollider. I even find this method using SuperCollider's JITLib (Just-In-Time library, that enables dynamic recompilation/execution) simpler than anything but TidalCycles.
I had not heard of Strudel or Switch Angel before, but all of this is right up my alley. She has another video where she goes through more of a tutorial on creating beats if (like me) you were...
Going through her videos I wanna play with Strudel more. I'm interested in being able to make my own synths in the same interface, too, instead of having to develop my own synthdefs then reload later.

I haven't tried Strudel but seems pretty cool :

I’m a software engineer and I dabble in audio production but this was way beyond me. Seriously impressive stuff.
This YT comment cracked me up:

For example in Strudel:
Or in pure Tidalcycles:
