Music Genres and Programming Languages
Lately, I have been thinking that certain music genres correspond to the design, philosophy, practice and perception of certain programming languages. Let me know if you (dis)agree with me.
- Pop is Java and .NET
- Jazz is C and C++
- Hip-Hop is PHP and Ruby on Rails
- Electronica/Trance is Prolog, Lisp and other functional languages
- Nursery Rhymes is Visual Basic
- Classical is Fortran, Cobol and Assembly
- World Music/Fusion is Clojure, Jython, etc.
- Rock is definitely Python and Ruby
Have I missed any major genres and programming languages?

I’d put Lisp somewhere with Classical. VC++ with Trance/Electronic.
Nevertheless, a very interesting idea in the first place.

Strangely, your blog displays ‘0 Comments’ and ‘3 Comment’. Other way round, eh ?

Actually, this blog’s theme was designed by a German guy, so it looks like he got it wrong. I never cared enough to change it
