Java i can't comment on that since I hate Java.. I'd say use C or C++. Mainly since there are a ton of libaries you can include right away. bigb converting me to QT and I have to say it's a breeze when doing a pure C++ app. It makes things so much easier.

I dont want to discount an interpereted language (yes java is interpereted) just because of speed. The app i write is simple enough it wont make a difference to the speed of execution, just to the speed of implementation.

On a side note, you should look up some scheme vs c benchmarks, i think you'll find that even though scheme is properly interpereted and its interpreter is written and run in java, its still faster than c for a lot of stuff. Thats non-intuitive....
