- fennecfoxen 11y agoI can't find "octave music language" anywhere on Google either. But maybe the commentor was thinking of abc-mode and misspoke? That one is for a music language. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AbcMode http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AbcMode
- coldtea 11y agoI bet he probably meant "Overtone" the music programming language / environment based on Clojure. Though octave was originally a music term too.
- jordigh 11y agoThe people named Octave are not named after music. It's just a variation of Octavius.
- coldtea 11y agoActually Octavius itself derives from the latin for "eight" (octavus, which is were the music term also got it name).
- jordigh 11y agoYes, of course, but the number eight means more than just music. Sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine that people keep thinking that GNU Octave has something to do with music.
