Like other programming languages, you start with something that works,
and then modify it to work the way you want it to.
I got started with ABC, and used abc2ly for a number of years rather

Meek young men grow up in libraries, believing it their duty to accept
the views which Cicero, which Locke, which Bacon, have given,
forgetful that Cicero, Locke and Bacon were only young men in
libraries when they wrote these books.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, address to Harvard's Phi Beta Kappa Society on
August 31, 1837
