    The language is C++ like BastianHawk said.
    They use SDL and OpenGL as the interface and renderer.

    As mentioned, C++, however, I suspect XML, Lua and their own "markup" language are also used.

    It also uses DirectX too, according some of the recent blog updates.

    The development process also seems to be running on Valve Time, but that just might be me.

    Nah man, we don't have to worry until something has a '3' in it.

    This doesn't mean we need to know any of those to mod, does it?

    I imagine it depends on what sort of mod tools we get, as well as how in-depth you want to go with it.

    Well i hope there's no pixel shaders involved, my PC gets a seizure when it has something higher then 2.0.
