[Live-devel] Starting up

[Jeff Shanab]

I was wondering too becasue, my first thought is keep it simple and work in
the language the library supports. (Software engineering for me is "same
stuff, differnt language")

c/c++ is the best cross platform compiled language for me
python is the best cross platform scripting language for me.

Having said that... Python was originally written on a c base and there are
some bindings.
