title: what is a good programming language for music software?
body: <p>i want to write a music software that can play music, can detect pitch of the sound taken from the computer's microphone(with an algorithm that uses sound filters to filter out frequencies), and enables a good user interface. something similar to  smartmusic: <a href="http://smartmusic.com" rel="noreferrer">http://smartmusic.com</a></p>
  
  <p>any suggestions for what might be the most appropriate language to write this kind of software ? does anyone know what language smartmusic was coded in?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
