What Programming Language For Linux Development?

k33l0r writes "Recently I've been thinking about developing (or learning to develop) for Linux. I'm a IT university student but my degree program focuses almost exclusively on Microsoft tools (Visual Studio, C#, ASP.NET, etc.) which is why I would like to expand my repertoire on my own. Personally I'm quite comfortable in a Linux environment, but have never programmed for it. Over the years I've developed a healthy fear of everything Java and I'm not too sure of what I think of Python's use of indentation to delimit blocks. The question that remains is, what language and tools should I be using?"http://developers.slashdot.org/slash.../12/06/2044216
