I bet it will be, unless lots of things will be written in C(++). I
can't see the advantage of doing that: re-write something that is
already working in c++/guile to c++/python.

I could sea the advantage of re-writing lily in only one language. but
this language would have to have a fast implementation and be dynamic
and very high-level. I can't think of a better choice than common
lisp ;-)
