What do you develop Windows app with? I've been toying with making a Windows version of web only app I am working on, but so far the only option seems to be using C# with .NET. Are there any other options out there? (Not that I have an issue with C#)


We are using Delphi. C# is a great language and .NET is fine if you're designing for a specific customer but it's (in our opinion) not a viable option for shareware apps, as it generates decompilable executables that require a large framework to run. Most people have .NET runtime framework installed, others have no problem downloading it but it is still a problem for a percentage of the users.


I'm not the OP but there are a bunch of options:

- C++ (with all of the variety of GUI frameworks) - Delphi - Java - D (again with GUI frameworks) - Python
