I want to become a desktop developer, and code cross-platform

C#. As open as Java, as fast as C++ and better than both.

I mean C# is a good choice but
> As open as Java, as fast as C++
how can you even say shit like that

>>59840442
C#, but you can also try python, the kivy library is an awesome cross platform framework it's easy to learn and easy to use.

JavaScript + electron is the way to go now kiddo

>>59840442
If you need to make this application quickley and user expierience doesn’t matter all that much go with Java. If your willing to invest time and the app requires a snappy iterface go with qt.

>kivy
Nice in concept, totally retarded in execution. It's literally all the mistakes of Qt, Swing and JavaFx combined into a single product.

>>59840457
>as fast as C++
found the microsoft shill

>>59840442
if you want desktop applications C++/Qt is a better option
have you ever used eclipse? it's a disaster

>>59840457
lol

>>59840643
I 've used and agree. Why C++ with QT is better than Java with JavaFX?

>>59840442
Java GUI is miles easier than C++ with QT. Everything is better when you can use something built in a language instead of scrambling through libraries. Plus, java is the first language when it comes to
>cross platform

When was last time you've installed a desktop app? Steam/browsers doesn't count.

Go to webdev instead

PS: Electron does that and is the new thing (Look up on Visual Studio Code)

c++. ignore the faggots saying electron. that shit will give you cancer, especially in debugging.

>>59840520
this, but only if you're doing a simple app.

don't be retarded and try to make a text editor on it

>>59841574
>using java for desktop programs
yeah sure

>>59842896
visual studio code seems to work pretty well

>>59844622
>falling for the meme

Good job being unemployed forever

>>59844712
more like barely

>>59840442
C++ is cross platform mostly in that you have to write everything yourself for every different platform.

>>59840442
C++ and Qt is the way to go. supports pretty much every platform under the sun and runs blazing fast. its also easy to use.

and once you know C++ well, everything else is easy to learn, so no problem getting a job.

* Java makes absolute shit tier desktop applications. Slow with a gross, non-native UI. Avoid.

* C# is not a viable cross platform GUI solution. It does have decent performance but is not as fast as C++.

* C++/Qt is decent but Qt licensing/price options suck.

* Take a look at Xojo. Very cost effective, good performance, native UI on each platform.
