Hi Johan, Unless you enjoy writing Scheme as much as I do!
Scheme is perfectly fine for utility programs. It may be less maintainable for the hoi polloi - but then, the same can be said of llypond! :-) While guile is aimed at being an extension language, don't forget that Scheme was taught at MIT for many, many years as the finest language to give students a deep insight into computing and computer science (refer SICP). [Sadly, they now teach Python instead. Real world practicality defeated beauty, insight, and elegance. :-(] Andrew On 24/08/2015 17:59, "Johan Vromans" <lilypond-user-bounces+andrew.bernard=gmail....@gnu.org on behalf of jvrom...@squirrel.nl> wrote: >On Mon, 24 Aug 2015 09:35:35 +1000 >Andrew Bernard <andrew.bern...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Although it can be written in Python or any language, I felt Scheme is in >> the spirit of lilypond. > >Scheme is for LP extenstions.
