Java springs to mind, but it seems so PAINFULLY slow, even to do fairly simple stuff. If it was OO, that would be a bonus too.
Java isnt slow, and it gets my vote...
I suppose I'm just being a bit lazy; I could just compile a C program natively on 'nix AND win32.
If you just want CLI, then thats easy.
Potentially, I would like to add these separate elements into one larger program (this is where I would perhaps prefer C). I *WOULDN'T* like to pick up a new language as complex as C *YET*, at least not until I learn to use C properly.
You could learn as you go...
Any tips? For example, if you use Java, is there a nice free RAD/IDE for it? Anyone tried Kylix? (I have it on CD) Or maybe you could suggest another approach?
Borlands ?
