Algorithmic automation for various DAWs

How to algorithmically control every aspect of music using familiar, robust tools: plugins, DAWs, etc. that have not built with this in mind? I've partially solved the problem in MIDA -- program that generates MIDI files using very simple and symmetric language. However, even though MIDA is a fine tool to create scores, it's not sufficient if you want to control everything. Initially I thought I could find some plugins that can algorithmically control other plugins, but there are no decent tools of this sort. How automation is handled in a traditional DAW? Well, you draw it in a separate track. Wouldn't it be a good idea to algorithmically perform exactly that: drawing of the automation track. This is simpler than it may seem: many DAWs allow to export tracks in XML format, and this is all we need to start our hacking.
