The design specs should be completely standalone from the
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
their own in any capable language.

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