Thanks for the help,

Windows compatible VST plugins will probably be quite difficult to produce on Linux as well...
The good news is that JesuSonic (JS) plugins can be directly written and run in Reaper itself, without installing anything extra besides Reaper itself. There's even hardly any chance you could mess up anything even if you did JS plugins development on your Windows-based recording/DAW machine.
edit : To make it clear :
1) Reaper Extension plugins are meant to do many things, like control surface support, audio file format import/export support, new actions for various editing tasks (like moving items, replacing the files they use etc). These must be written in C++ and probably require Windows to be developed at all.
2) Steinberg VST plugins are meant for processing audio or generating sounds from MIDI (virtual instruments) in realtime. These must be usually written in C++ and probably require Windows to be developed at all. (If you want them to run in a Windows VST host application such as Reaper.) In Reaper, they have access to Reaper's internals, which may or may not be useful for particular tasks. If you do a VST plugin that accesses these Reaper spesific things, the plugin may not work at all or will have limited functionality in other VST host programs such as Cubase.
3) Cockos JesuSonic (JS) plugins are script based audio processing plugins which can be programmed in Reaper itself. They don't have extensive access to Reaper's internals like the Reaper Extension plugins have. They are compatible between Windows and Macintosh OS-X. Provided you get Reaper running in Wine in Linux, you can also develop them with Linux as your operating system.
