Harm is not a C programmer either.  Scheme is his only language and he
learnt it because of LilyPond.  So he has no exposure to the low-level
nature of C++, nor to the basics of imperative programming languages
that are sort of a required firm footing before you dive into the
syntactic shitshow that C++ is.

I certainly hope that he isn't as miffed at your dismissive attitude as
I am since he is one of the most important contributors coming from the
user side of LilyPond.

Ok, I'll try that.
