I would say it is for musicians who want to compose music with code.
When you delve into the world of electronic music, there are quite a few using such tools, doing live coding performances on their concerts.

I believe there are commercial options, as well, but I'm not familiar with them.
@darpa_escapee - thanks for guiding me into that rabbit hole. Csound looked the most promising to me. Pure Data needs more screenshot and samples, the site was very hard for me to dive through and Overtone Clojure it's cool. Wanted to learn that at one point, but I'm sticking first with learning Haskell.
For a more code-like experience, SuperCollider seems pretty fun, though I haven’t gotten deep into it. ChucK (http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu) is another neat option, if you really want to feel like you’re controlling every sample that goes by.
