I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction? I'm looking to make some new apps for BBS'ing, FTN nad a few other things related to our hobby here. I'm a fairly decent programmer and can pick up a language in a short while. I'm currently looking at either FreePascal (Lazarus) or VS 2012 & C++.

If you're dead set on a compiled langauge, I'd go the Pascal route
using Free Pascal. You can compile for x64 or all the way back to 8086 DOS, etc. fairly simply with FPC. I put up a post about this a while
back here: http://132.0.0.249/compiling-a-fossil-aware-16bit-dos-executable-with- fpc/
Now, if you're not set on compiled languages feel free to snag code or just for refrence from the ENiGMA 1/2 project. It's a BBS project I've been doing for a bit written in Node.js / JavaScript: https://github.com/NuSkooler/enigma-bbs/
There are also Python libs for FTN and the like out there, so there is another option.

It seems like you have a mind to write some FTN stuff. The biggest
FTN project I know if is the husky project, and it is all written in C
and C++.
