windows service

Hi /prog/ rammers,

In your experience, what's the best language+framework for writing a windows service in?

The actual thing it will be doing is simple (making an http request every five minutes so as to keep track of the current external IP address of the network) but all the service-related stuff I have never done before. Any tips?

Yeah, Python users are 'programmers' without the skills to manage structures in memory to improve performance.  The difference between a C++ programmer and a Python 'programmer' is akin to the difference between someone who designs cars for a living and someone who drives cars for a living.
