I wasn't boasting, I was trying to provide some sort of evidence that Python 
is a superior language.

Regarding your own experience, which language would you pick for writing 
music, if you decided to write music by programming?

I have written music in computer algebra systems (Mathematica), but I ended 
up preferring Python because, well, it was easier to program in and turned 
out to have everything Mathematica has, including graphics and linear 
algebra, except for equation solvers and rearrangers, and pattern matching.

Regards,
Mike
