For new development, the Gumstix supports the following languages out of the
box:

   - C
   - sh scripting
   - C++ (Buildroot revision 1444 and later)

The following languages can be easily enabled in the
Buildroot<http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/Buildroot>:


   - C++
   - Java <http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/Java>
   - Awk
   - Perl (incarnated as MicroPerl)
   - Python <http://docwiki.gumstix.org/index.php/Python>
   - Tcl
