Visual Basic vs. Java vs. Tcl

[Gala'Vi and Liss @ Mainframe Country]

You can use something awesome called FLTK and use plain vanilla C++. 

Check out FLTK at http://fltk.easysw.com/

It is a freeware which runs under UNIX and Windows. It is a complete
interface management.

Don't use VB. It doesn't support inheritance, so you are doubly screwed
with that Microsoft crud.
