why would you NOT use c or c++

and for gtk unless you are pushing 4+ gig files through it , no issue

Generally speaking, I think that the future is in cross-platform application development environments. We simply can't afford to maintain n entirely-different code bases to do "the same" thing.

And, the same time, the future of mobile-applications is not "let's just all pretend that it is really a JavaScript-driven 'web site.'"

This is the drive behind tools such as Haxe, OpenFL, and Apple's Swift.

Stepping a little farther out, I also suggest that these languages will spell the end to what we're presently doing on desktop machines, as well: HTML5 and hand-coded JavaScript that uses megabyte-sized monolithic libraries of source code.
