What is the best way to write modern application applications under Windows?

Question

Programming

Requirements:

• emerging and not obsolete technologies
  
• nice/friendly GUI
  
• high performance
  
• Windows XP and higher (at least it ran in a limited way, if not with all the functionality)
  
• do not install additional dependencies
  
• high development speed.
  

IMHO ( maybe there is more ):

• Microsoft Foundation Classes
  
• Windows Template Library (loosely familiar)
  
• SmartWin++ (unknown)
  
• Object Windows Library (unknown)
  
• Visual Component Library (unknown)
  
• Windows Forms ( suitable but performance suffers for large calculations )
  
• Windows Presentation Foundation ( suitable but performance suffers for large calculations )
  
• Qt (С++) ( very unfamiliar but leaning towards it )
  
• wxWidgets(unknown)
  
• XForms(unknown)
  
• Ultimate++
  

JAVA disappears because you need to install it additionally.

Answer 1

C#

Answer 2

>>developing and not obsolete technologies
>>Windows XP
Well, well,
about dependencies - almost all frameworks, except for dotnet

Answer 3

If developing technologies, then WPF for the interface part and something more nimble on the backend. Wrappers over C++ libraries for example. I'm not familiar with qt, but I admit that writing code that requires large calculations on pluses + asm will be more convenient.

Answer 4

Do not be perverted with C ++, C # definitely. If you need some system calls that are not in C #, then there is C ++ / Cli for this, there is marshaling, using this does not pose any problems at all. Although I would not advise you to immediately start with WPF, if you have not communicated with C # and WinForms before, get bogged down, get lost and only hate C #.

Answer 5

On the chair. On the floor, the feet begin to freeze.
But in fact, you need to write in the language that you like, for example, C ++ is good in many respects, but I will write in it only if they start torturing me, and that’s not a fact.
