Well I was thinking of choosing python because of its ease of use for pin manipulation and when I first got the beaglebone, I was setting up the python library. I wasn't sure how to do it in other languages because I don't have that much experience. As far as C++ is concerned, I do know a little bit of it from college, but haven't continued learning it.
