i'm looking for a new language.. but there are some things i need it to have. i come from a procedural basic - vb background, so
1. i want a nice IDE.
2. i can probably deal with a more 'interesting' language - complexity isn't really an issue as long as it's within reasonable grounds.
2. default XP theming, something vb6 does not have.
3. compiles to win32 and does not require any framework larger than a few megs (.net, java are out).
4. money is no issue.
i've got nothing on for the next month or so, so i can put in time learning things too. i just need some suggestions as to what would be good in my situation.
