Me too, but they are basically the same thing.
Do you mean the C++ mainly just wraps Python code? I think I've seen code like that.
No, I mean they are both languages that some human invented for the purpose of speaking to computers.
In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they are very different. :-]
It would be a great learning experience. And there are a lot of very helpful people in the Inkscape community. :-)
I assume minimum requirement to start is a working compile environment.
My situation places my at a Windows machine. Which would you recommend;
- trying to set up an environment to compile inkscape on Windows
- building a Linux machine to develop on
I use both. We have a number of developers that use one or the other. I personally think that developing software is a more pleasant experience on linux. But I think you should start out with whatever is the least work for you, probably windows.
Windows only if there's a well-documented and reliable way to configure a free C++ toolchain.
If not, it's much less work to develop on Linux it would seem.
