I recommend that you use Ada 95 and GtkAda. The app I'm developing just
needed to be compiled under Windows to work. It is being developed under
Linux of course. Ada 95 is highly portable. C and C++ are not.
Ada 95 Info:
Ada is the most powerful object-oriented general purpose programming
language. It has built-in concurrency, built-in exception handling,
built-in generic templates, built-in distributed execution, standard
and defacto standard interfaces to other programming languages and
libaries, compiles also to Java Byte Code (if you want) and just
about any OS under the sun, and a rich set of primitives for getting
at and putting to work all that expertise you've embedded in your
software.
