Thanks Jens. Yes, probably C# best for Windows, although from what Zachary says below it seems worth investigating the use of the .NET port for other platforms too..
I hear you about C++ - although JUCE is a great framework, after working with C#, Ruby and Javascript, the complexity of C++ can really bog things down. Although some of the new features of C++11 are nice. The reason I am using C++ is that I'm working on cross-platform audio software. I'm also really interested in Rust, it looks really promising, I actually posted about it a few weeks ago on the JUCE forum but got no response. I guess its all about how widely it gets adopted. And - Apple open-sourcing Swift, would be great! Have a feeling they would prefer to keep the gates locked on their walled garden...
