Hi Jean-marc,
Much depends on which language you're used to.
If you're familiar with C or C++ I suppose you should use that (gcc-compiler). If you are more familiar with Pascal, you should try and install the Free Pascal Compiler, probably in combination with Lazarus (A free Delphi clone)
If you're familiar with Java, use that instead (I believe gcc supports Java as well)
You might as well take a look at PHP (suitable for web development)
As you can see there are many languages supported under linux... most of them free of charge. (if not all) Much depends on which language you know already, as that gives a better starting point. If you don't know any language, I suppose C is among the better choices for linux, due to it's flexibility.
If I'm not mistaken Lilypond is written in C (but don't pin me down on it)
I hope this is of some help...

Hi list !
An odd question, that has no direct link with lilypond.
I'de like to develop some applications on Linux, and I don't know wich language to use.
Actually, I do appreciate the way that lilypond files are structured : I fits quite well with my way of thinking.
What sort of language is lily inspired from ?
