Yep, my point of view is highly influenced by my own history:
Before I started with LilyPond I had no programming knowledge.
No Haskell, Perl, Python or whatever.
I started to learn scheme because LilyPond not always did what I
wanted her to do...

There may be more users out there with zero programming experience.
My whole point is to not increase the hurdles for them.

Other users are experienced programmers.

As always we need to strike a balance between all of them.

Best,
