Yes, nearly all the complex, important stuff (as well as some not so complex |
| 7 |
and not so important stuff) is implemented in Python. I feel that python is an |
| 8 |
ideal language for something growing as quickly as Portage. |

We also have some legacy bash code as well, and in the future it's very likely |
| 11 |
that we'll move a lot of the package management and package database parts (as |
| 12 |
they become more stable and defined) to C++ for better performance. |

When Portage is at around version 2.5, it's likely that we'll have some python, |
| 15 |
some C++ and some bash as well. |
