What language and what DevEnv are you using to develop with raspbian on Raspberry PI?

I have started this poll as I am interested to screen in the most possible complete way what is the various languages you are approaching to develop on the Raspberry PI. I have explicitly added raspbian as the most Debian-like Linux distribution supporting the larger number of components almost for every programming language.

Please add your comment on the PI development usage you are using.

I use GalaxC, which is part of XXICC (21st Century Co-design) release 0.0q XXICC provides the programming environment for GalaxC, and includes document editing and GUI. XXICC is small, so it fits within…

The GNU C/C++ come with Raspbian. Type "man gcc" in a terminal window for more information.

I usually script in a combination of Python or Perl, and bash. Not necessarily tied to any platform such as the Raspberry Pi.

Hi Enrico,

I have been looking hard at python because it is easy to use and enables me to do some basic analysis with good graphics to look at my ideas for subatomic physics. My coauthor is using python to build our first models so that we can look at the more interesting ideas about how atoms might really work.

I am also trying to learn python, because of Raspberry. C/C++ would be really appreciated

Python or bash it depends on the program.

Used python and C (plain, not ++) on my Pi's.

I learn to use python because of the Raspberry Pi. Although shell scripting is used as well.

This is a very interesting news I will check later.

I use GalaxC, which is part of XXICC (21st Century Co-design) release 0.0q
XXICC provides the programming environment for GalaxC, and includes document editing and GUI. XXICC is small, so it fits within RasPi's limited memory and I/O resources.

In practice, I do most of my development on an ODROID-C1, which is 20% faster then a RasPi 2. I use a USB hard drive for my root file system so I don't have to worry about SD card degradation. If I need to do Xilinx FPGA development I have to use an x86 machine, but at least it's still GNU/Linux most of the time.

It's really nice to work with a silent CPU that's only drawing a few watts. Using a relatively weak CPU exposes where my code can use performance improvement. IMO it's a huge mistake to give developers fast machines with huge amounts of memory since they can't tell if their algorithms will run poorly on a user machine with less resource.
