Re: Roadmap to lily code

[Art Hixson]

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!
