Gentlemen, your elephant has flexed.

And, also I should add that you can compile and/or link any C library natively into an ObjC application.

I would have voted on this forum, except you forget an elephant of a choice: ObjectiveC + cocoa.

Asides from the fact that the language and the framework is a joy to work with, aside from the fact that practically all shareware applications being created on OSX look and behave 100 times as better as any shareware app on windows, there is the huge fact that Vista is fizzling fast while OSX is on a boom.

You did say 2013, right?

Agree with Sanchit. We’re building our web app, Convos, with Flex and have been really impressed with the user experiences that can be created in a browser.

you should also probably include flex/as3 on your list too. I know up until now AS hasn’t been a real or very popular programming language like C, but i feel things are about to change with flex, since its the RIA age and adobe has been really pushing hard to make it the next best thing to HTML both online and offline apps (AIR)..

its pretty impressive too judging from the stuff i’ve seen done with it so far

Great subject. Marc Andreesson just posted a very good and related article on Hiring, managing, promoting and firing executives.

The wisdom behind this article comes in large part from Mario Laudi.

He’s a tech recruiter with years of experience in delivering chasm-crossing talent and is sage in the ways of emerging technology.

I recommend his blogs on Red Canary – in particular “Know Thy VC”
