Song

A song is a single (and often standalone) work of music intended to be sung by the human voice with distinct and fixed pitches and patterns using sound and silence and a variety of forms that often include the repetition of sections. Written words created specifically for music or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs in a simple style that are learned informally are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers for concert performances. Songs are performed live and recorded. Songs may also appear in plays, musical theatre, stage shows of any form, and within operas.

Cola (programming language)

Cola is a programming language similar to Java and C# with some higher level features of Perl and Ruby including first-class regular expressions. It can be compiled for the Microsoft .NET CLR or the Parrot virtual machine.

Cola is a compiled language with static type checking, but the designer mixed in some of the features more common to scripting languages like Perl and Ruby. Cola is less of a new language "design" than a mix of several very powerful languages with the following key principles in mind:

C++, Java and C# programmers should be immediately comfortable.

Convention over Code - Things that are conventional are implicit defaults. The default scope accesses can be configured with compiler flags to remove burden from the language. (See Java/C# public keyword)

Low signal-to-noise ratio - Reduced keyword clutter and an emphasis on improved readability and less on controlling access of other programmers. In practice, the use of the word public dominates Java and C# syntax, based on source code analysis. Cola omits the public keyword, and supports C++ style of scope access sections, and provides a single character @ to make a member private.
