Many musical terms, e.g. “a capella”, “tempo” and others are Italian. I am curious about the potential impact on increasing diversity among musicians, especially when we consider the number of people globally who do not have access to a (good) Italian education that is an implicit prerequisite for learning to play a musical instrument.
- elangoc 11y agoWeak analogy. Text and language aren't as intrinsic to playing music and reading/writing sheet music as they are to reading/writing source code.
- abiox 11y agoi agree that it's not the strongest analogy, but it seems relevant. you seem to be uncessarily bounding this on "text", which seems an incidental detail at best.
