However, I decided to rewrite my answer: Even if one of the original developers would not use C++ when redoing LilyPond, such a rewrite is out of question right now. It makes no sense at all to rewrite a good piece of software if the only reason to do it is the language. Furthermore, I would stay *far*, *FAR* away from a language like dot net. It sucks big time in several respects, and if your point was to choose a better language than C++ in terms of portability, usability, familiarity and more, then dot net was one of the poorest choices possible.
