This actually isn't even a question about
Java, so if it goes in some other category, please move it there.
As mentioned in my previous post, "Getting my program to run smoothly", my JRE on my computer is on the fritz. It doesn't run right for some reason. But everything else on my computer seems to be working OK. So I started to consider writing my program in some other language. But I realized I have no idea what other language to write in. That is, I know that people write programs for Windows platforms in C++, but I don't know what language people use to write software for Mac OS9 or OSX. Anyone know?
I feel so strange asking this in a forum for Java, like I'm betraying someone. This being a java ranch, I suppose someone will tar and feather me, or even worse, challenge me to a gun duel at high noon or hang me or something. Have mercy!
