which language for programming

[Jean-marc LEGRAND]

hi all !

I'm trying to choose a language to learn programming. i know, it depends en 
what I want dto do with
it : but I don't have particular project on my table.

So I was wondering if a good idea wouldn't be to use the same language as 
lilypond, which is C++, i
think.

My questions are :

- is C++ the language used for lilypond sources ?
- are the different tools, espacially in §12, but also in all chaging default 
tricks, based upon C++
?

Well, if I learn to use C++, will I be able to help, in a few years, lily dev ?

Best regards !
