Re: [sc-users] Compiled language similar to sc ?

You don't have to be a virtuoso violinist to compose well for the
violin. You do have to be a very good  SC programmer to compose well
with sc. that's my point.  When you compose for a traditional
instrument, the performer does the implementation. Learning
SC-programming has nothing to do with music per se at first. you could
make phone number databases with it if you wanted. 

I'm not making an _essential_ distinction between the two but rather one
of degree. And it is the _degree_ of effort and the learning curve  that
counts, when you lose your musical idea amidst the programming
technicalities as an sc novice or even intermediate programmer.
