My current favorite is Ruby -- it is a very nice language, but of course speed can be a concern due to bytecode interpretation, and interfacing C ++ libs like BOOST or CGAL is some overhead. I just wrote some glue code for Ruby-Boost to use its Fibonacci Priority Queue, and now have to write some glue code to CGALS Delaunay Triangulation. For that, I was in touch again with C++ -- I guess I will never learn to love it. How difficult is it to access Libraries like CGAL or BOOST from Vala? One alternative to Vala may be Rust of the Mozilla project -- I think it is on an early state now, but it is not so much focused on GTK/GObject like Vala. I guess Vala or Rust are the next candidates to learn for me. Best regards, Stefan Salewski
