if you're looking at things like VB and VJ++ then you should take a look
as Delphi - often gets a bad press from games developers, but in terms
of productivity its the most powerful development language/environment
I've ever used. Virtually zero compile time, and performance usually as
good as (and sometimes better) than VC++, and virtually anything you can
do in VC++ you can do in Delphi. Only slight drawback is portability
(coz the underlying language is pascal), but even then if you're careful
this isn't as much of a problem. I think it appears regularly on
magazine cover cds in a limited form.
