Being relatively new to Lilypond I was puzzled by the use of Scheme as a
programming language. But, after reading this thread I was inspired to
actually have a look at the language. I now wonder why anyone would
question the choice. For Scheme is a wonderful, expressive language. I
intend to pursue it!
Over the years I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of Fortran,
Cobol, assembly for a variety of machines, Forth, Rexx, Modula, Python.
While Modula is syntactically perfect and Python, as its descendant, is
pretty nearly so, they still have a rather old fashioned feel and while
useful aren't particularly interesting.
So my vote is keep up the good work in Scheme!
