The design specs should be completely standalone from the |
9 |
implementation. That is, no language specific cruft in the specs. |

This, so the user can (if he or she so chooses) rewrite Portage(-ng) on |
11 |
their own in any capable language. |

On a related thread, for the sake of a short dependency tree (both in |
14 |
code length and number of packages needed) the chosen language should be |
15 |
a major deciding factor when picking a language to implement the final |
16 |
project in. |
