I'm embarking on a project to port one of our current products from the PC onto a Unix workstation with a bit-mapped graphics display. I've just about decided to use X11r2 with some variation of a toolkit (either X or Andrew or maybe both; haven't looked into that part of it enuf to know what makes sense). The question I'd like to pose and get responses and opinions on is this: What would you advise me to do in the area of choice of implementation language for such a project? Let's say I've got US$5K or so to blow (or not to blow if it makes sense not to). Is there a combination of somebody's preprocessor or compiler for some stripe of object oriented C (C++, Objective C, others?) that I should seriously consider and why? I'm not asking you to do my work for me here, but if you know something that I need to watch out for, I'd appreciate the heads up. Are there neat, nifty combinations of languages and tools for the Sun / Apollo / microVax / Masscomp class of machines that I should investigate? Please e-mail your pointers and opinions to me.
