"they see a note on the sheet and translate it to motion"

Indeed. I think notes are more 'human' than most programming languages. If the music goes up, the notes go up. If the notes are short they look short (and more dense).

But I agree that typing "let a be the subtring of b from 1 to the end" is no fun. So I'm glad we have symbolic languages. But I think they could be made more 'human'.
