I just managed to install Debian on a PC using the network install approach. During that install I was given the option to select which applications to install.

I want to do C/C++ and Python development. So, I selected the development option and a gazillion packages was available from it.

What are the packages, including code editors, I should install that includes a good and as complete as possible programing environment?

For C/C++ : apt-get install build-essential
For python : apt-get install python2.4
For java : Use debian-unofficial.org
For ruby : apt-get install ruby irb
For perl : apt-get install perl

More ?
