Let's not forget that scheme can be compiled into fast code (see bigloo
etc).  I'd love to see lilypond become 100% scheme (or, in my
preference, common lisp, simply for the standard environment... also,
some of the compilers still seem to produce faster code).  But I suspect
that would be a rather mammoth undertaking.

Cheers.
