Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do, So Do ... compile please!

EDIT:
Seriously, though, what both music and fundamentally sound programming languages have in common is math. Elegantly defined versions of both are beautiful expressions of thought.
Do you have any specific restrictions on what a 'project' means here? I have seen Ada used on an extensive scale in aerospace and defense projects, including a simple realtime OS.
Love Scala! One of my favorite high school memories is putting Scala files into a DAW and hooking it up to an electric piano, so that my piano teacher and I could play around with different tunings.
Not that Scala.
This predates that. It's written in Ada.

Does it count if, combining the two, one could infer a musical scale[0] such as:

Every Good Boy…
Crazy how these two disciplines are so intertwined.

Yes, but the programming languages is much more well known.
Regardless, cool! This is the first project I'm aware of to have been written in Ada

Most of those projects are pretty locked down/closed, I just mean I can actually see the project to a reasonable degree.
Fair enough. And yes, it's such a shame that there aren't more public, especially FOSS, projects in Ada.
And not the Amiga Scala.

Then this one?

This should have been in the title :)

Took me a few minutes to go from "what is going on?" to "oh this is not the Scala".

Should change title to “Scala: software for creating scales”
It's from the future! Says 27 Nov 2026 at the bottom :-)
That aside, the fonts looked very fuzzy, until I scaled to 133% in FF. Then they were perfect, crystal clear. Anybody else had that, too?
