Programming Language

    I'm wondering what people here think would be a good language to go to for GUI programming. I've just been learning C++ though the PAIN of installing any graphics libraries is ENORMOUS and then they don't even work. (at least for me they don't). I've done a little bit of python though that seems to have all the things that I don't like about C++ in it and none of the thing I do. eg. speed. I started off with JavaFX which I LOVED, the problem with that was no one uses it and it's about to change totally soon. I've had a look at flash and I can't work out how to do ANYTHING in it and there seems to be a huge lack of tutorials and also, flash seems a bit to much kind of drag and drop stuff, I prefer to actually CODE when I code, not use paint. So, would Java be a good idea now. Something else perhaps?

    If you want to use Java, just use Visual C#. C# looks very similar to Java but fills in the missing gaps such as Unsigned variables, pointers, and more.

    It also comes with a VGUI designer if you install Visual Studio C#. I believe Mono has a GUI editor, too if you're not running Windows.
