Interesting, I know that this is the kind of question that one should avoid,
but maybe there is something obvious I'm missing... For free software audio
stuff, should I learn C or C++?  What is most used? I'm asking that cause
I'd like to learn a language to help existing projects in the future. In
which languages, for example, are written Ardour and SuperCollider?

            Thanks in advance,

                Ricardo
