Oh, the usual suspects, particularly C/C++.
In any case, sometimes there really isn't a good place to bounce questions off of other users of your language. :( A lot of time, it the read the docs, guess, and test. Debian-related stuff could go here, I suppose, but not a large percentage of users here can also program. If it deals with "Debian internals" (e.g. dpkg, update-$foo, apt, etc.), then debian-devel might be able to help.
Thanks. I have a project to implement a small interpeted language (only console I/O). My implementation language is C++. At first, it won't "be Debian-involved"; that will come in pretty far down the road. I knew C++ to 98.6% fifteen years ago, but I'm rusty now.
(The language is internal use only at this point. Not a language with a previous implementation, or I would start there. I may GPL it at some future point if it ever sees the light of day. Not a list-oriented project, or I would use guile as a model.)
Thanks again, MAA
