I can't speak for its uses as a programmable platform; I am sure it is amazing. I want one to use as a cheap diskless XBMC system. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Raspberry_Pi Of course, since it can run Debian and Fedora, then I presume any programming language which has a interpreter ported to ARM or a compiler which can target an ARM processor (if required) could be used. Python, C and C++, PHP under a web server (perhaps Nginx), and Perl are just a few of the possibilities.
