Well sure - except that "interpretive" isn't ever an accurate description of a *language* - any language can fully compiled, partially compiled (e.g. Java), or fully interpreted. There are even interpretive C++ implementations. But I agree it would more accurate to see lilypond uses an interpret*ed* language (Scheme). Even if it did use pre-compiled scheme, because lilypond supports compiling scores that contain Scheme code, it would still require effectively interpretive processing, which is not doubt a large reason for it's less-than-blinding-fast operation.From: Nicolas Sceaux <address@hidden> To: "Wiz Aus" <address@hidden> CC: address@hidden Subject: Re: Illegal C++ Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 23:44:48 +0200 "Wiz Aus" <address@hidden> writes: > lilypond uses an interpretive language (Scheme) No. LilyPond uses an *implementation* of Scheme, namely guile, which only provides an interpreter, but no compiler, unlike many other Scheme implementations. Please do not widespread wrong clichés.
