Not at all. I consider the ability to spend hours of self-motivated
focus on an intellectual challenge to be more important than the
exposure to some computer language. You'll find programmers citing the
difference between C and Scheme as a major hurdle for learning how to
work LilyPond. Yet it's ridiculous as compared to the linguistic,
structural and cultural differences for reading and analyzing Sanskrit
as compared to a modern Indogermanic language.

Well, it is a living work of art, and arguably not always worked with
the best brushes.

It's definitely one of LilyPond's assets.
