which programming language should I use for FreeBSD software

I maintain the FreeBSD port lang/qore, and it's a Perl-like interpreted language that supports SMP environments. The interpreter and runtime are written in C++. It has a number of interesting features inspired from a variety of interesting languages (interpreted and compiled).

I created the port for it because, primarily due to its SMP support, has come closest to competing with Perl in my desire to use it.

If you used VB and like point and click stuff where you just write code for function, try QT which uses C++. It is used by KDE, Google Earth, Skype, Adobe, Virtualbox, Nokia and many more.

It comes with Qt creator a cross-platform C++ integrated development environment which is part of the Qt SDK. It includes a visual debugger and an integrated GUI layout and forms designer.

Again, lots of things depends upon your requirements. A simple program can be as follows:
Code:
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QtGui/QLabel>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    QLabel label("Hello, world!");
    label.show();
    return app.exec();
}

Hi vivek,

I am interested in Qt but I can not follow your links. Would you please point a newbies like me to where I can find information about Qt programming?

Thanks vivek in advance.
