Yes, it is possible to build reasonable size applications using Gambas. This information is available on the Gambas website: http://gambasdoc.org/help/app?en&view Between Gambas and Lazarus, I prefer Lazarus. The reason being that Lazarus allows you to use a lot of the Delphi components which are available. Also, I prefer object pascal to basic, but that is just a personal preference. Just one of the sites with loads of Delphi source code and components: http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ Note that since Lazarus does not exactly match Delphi line to line, there may be changes needed to get some of these components working. Other options: 1. Monodevelop http://monodevelop.com/ 2. Also, may I know why you don't favour using Java? IDEs like Netbeans and Eclipse can be used to develop swing apps. Also, these IDEs have good tools for working with databases. If you prefer, you could use JavaFX to create some nifty GUIs and it is all fully supported within Netbeans and Eclipse. If you feel so inclined, you could build your application to use the Netbeans or Eclipse application frameworks and so you will get a lot of functionality for free. It is actually quite easy to do: For netbeans: http://www.javalobby.org/eps/netbeans_platform/ There are literally 1000s of programs using the Netbeans / Eclipse frameworks. 3. If you don't mind working with C++, you could use the QT, WxWidgets or the Gtk framework. 4. Ofcourse, if you prefer dynamic languages and you don't need an IDE for development, you could use Shoes for Ruby or the innumerable options available for Python.
