Runtime dynamic bytecode languages -- Java, Perl, Python, Ruby, ... -- do seem to be all the rage. As DaveM noted, though, C# is fully supported under Linux. Or maybe they could go for Gtk+, which has successfully been used to maintain complex GUIs apps on both Windows and Linux. GIMP is the most notable example, but use of Gtk+, GLib, and mingw has meant that you can build Linux-ish apps on Windows without nasty porting layers like Cygwin. Jeff
