You forgot about the Mono framework.

Subject: Re: Shell Scripting Info

The information you posted is good.  Of course, I take offense that programming 
in Linux can make you nuts.  Perhaps that's because I had experience with Unix 
before being forced to use the crippled DOS and then Windows.  DOS and batch 
files just stole a small part of this functionality from Unix.  It should be 
noted that bash is simply command line statements strung together.  Bash 
scripting becomes powerful because almost all of the applications and utilities 
provide command line options and can be used together like building blocks.
GNU/Linux, and thus Vinux are great, not only because the Operating System and 
screen readers are free, the compilers and IDE is also free.  Even the standard 
Vinux 3.0.1 distribution has support for bash, C, C++, Python and so on 
built-in.  An IDE, like eclipse or libraries need to be installed to develop 
some languages.

Other examples of C++ development is Firefox and Thunderbird.

Java is also frequently used in GNU/Linux.  Libre Office is a good example.  
Java using the SWT widgets has good accessibility in GNU/Linux.  It requires no 
type of bridge.

Would you like us to submit our favorite resources for the other languages?  
Vinux is a great place to get started with any of these languages, either using 
the command line or gnome.

substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am working on 
things that matter.

 Would someone please check this page for accuracy?

Thanks.
