In other words, saying "Who's going to learn LilyPond? Nobody will!" is more or less the same as saying "Who is going to learn Scheme to contribute to LilyPond? Nobody will!". Despite of what I've been trying to convince myself for ages, at the end [possibly] LilyPond is for geeks only. Geeks among geeks are who will learn whatever it is necessary to learn for contributing. For example, contributors to LaTeX packages have to learn hardcore lowlevel TeX and all those cryptic @-commands. I am surprised on how many of them there are; the fact is that many packages exist and they are made by geeks^2. Scheme looks easy to me by comparison. > Moreover, learning scheme has given me a > very helpful and refreshing new perspective on programming. If one would like to seriously learn and use Scheme, which IDE for editing/running/debugging do you recommend? -- Francisco Vila.
