Press Cmd-Opt-L or select View » Gutter » Line Numbers.

I don't think it's possible to automatically enable display of line numbers dependent on your current language. But with the default keyboard shortcut this command is easy enough to reach.

While I certainly appreciate all the up votes for this answer, I'd like to use the popularity of this question to demonstrate [how convenient it is to find menu items and commands in pretty much any OS X application](http://i.stack.imgur.com/cQjeL.png). – Daniel Beck Sep 07 '12 at 20:01

For users stumbling on this question who want to actually insert numbers in front of each line, the following will help:

Bundles > Text > Add Line Numbers to Selection
- Applies "cat -n|expand -8" to selection/entire document
Text -> Filter through command... allows more flexibility. e.g.:
- perl -pe 's/^/sprintf("%2d ",$.)/e'
