What languages have a good GUI API/Designer? [closed]

Question

I've been wanting to become proficient in a new language for a while. There are a few languages I want to learn but it's pretty important for me to be able to create a (Application) GUI. I work in C# so I have become very accustom to the GUI designer.

I would love to get better with C++ or Java (both of which I have a small amount of experience with). Other languages could be interesting too. I just really need to be able to make a GUI reasonably easily.

So what (non .net) language has a really good method of designing GUIs?

An extension to this question might be what are the most common GUI APIs/designers?

Answer 1

I would recommend you to look at Delphi. It's object pascal with a nice IDE and a nice community!

Take a look at www.codegear.com

CodeGear have also a C++ IDE, so you can have the bundle and put your hand dirty at Delphi and C++!

Hope his helps

Answer 2

I agree with pmlarocque in that you should use NetBeans if using Java. It really makes GUI design easy.

As an aside, I also recommend pencil and paper. That really has helped me throughout the years, start making sketches of what you want it to be then replicate it in the IDE.
