  Description     : a new kind of musical instrument : teach programming and
music

 Sonic Pi is a new kind of musical instrument. Instead of strumming
 strings or whacking things with sticks - you write code - live.
 .
 Sonic Pi has been designed with the aim to find a harmonious balance
 between three core principles:
 .
    - Simple enough for the 10 year old within you
    - Joyful enough for you to lose yourself through play
    - Powerful enough for your own expressions
 .
 Sonic Pi is a complete open source programming environment originally
 designed to explore and teach programming concepts within schools
 through the process of creating new sounds.
 .
 In addition to being an engaging education resource it has evolved
 into an extremely powerful and performance-ready live coding
 instrument suitable for professional artists and DJs.
