gui programming

what's a good language for quickly throwing together graphical apps? i'm not looking to do huge projects in it, just small tools for a larger project.

Probably do what >>2 said. Simple syntax, simple library, cross-platform, etc.

If you desperately need to throw together something graphical quickly, you can use Visual Basic, but it will pretty much fuck you over if you intend to learn a real programming language later on.
