I have done most of my software development work in small scale web development, and I’m interested in expanding this to program development. I know Sublime isn’t open source, but how does one begin such a project? What language is Sublime written in? How is cross-platform consistency maintained? What are some good resources to read on this regard?

Thanks all, and thanks Jon for re-sparking my interest in great software.

and Python.

python is important !!

The actual application does not use Python. Python is used for its API and plugins…

Any ideas about the GUI toolkit used?
Can you recommend a starting point (book, website) for larger program development in C++?

I seem to recall Jon saying he uses a custom GUI toolkit.

I know what you mean, but still a surprising amount of the basic application functionality is implemented in Python. Have a look in Packages/Default for example.
