      Back when I was doing C++, I liked wxWidgets. Problem is, they don't seem to have advanced it much in the last 7 years (yes, that's when I sold my soul to Managed code).

          Hmmm - you didn't mention Qt - they must worry you re: VCF :-)

          Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

            Does it works with Vala[^]? I'd like to give Vala[^] a try, preferably on WIndows!...

                Vala? Gack that's GTK GObject crap, no way does it support it. There's no need, as the VCF is written in C++. Vala only exists because of the insanity that is the GObject C API and the associated kludginess in using it.

                  Actually Qt is a really great framework. It's the only thing that really compares, and in some cases outstrips the VCF in the C++ world of frameworks.

                      Well I just stumbled upon it yesterday. I noticed it enable the developer to use a beautiful C# like syntax/API (I'm a C# fanboy, you can guess), yet it "compile to plain C and can be linked to executable with little dependency (instead of this huge runtime one)). That's what I like! Anyway, just trying to spred the word, I'd like to see, one day, a Windows native language (i.e. something which produce plain executable with no dependency) but still using a high level clean language similar to C# (as opposed to C++)

                              Great point! That is how everything should be built IMHO. What is stopping me from using a bunch of OR Mapping tools is that they impose design.
