Microsoft hates C, and Sepples is a clusterfuck on any operating system. Python and Scheme both work pretty much the same on Windows as on Linux. C# is basically Python with C-like syntax, though you wouldn't know it from the shit code that Indian code monkeys who really only know Java write.

I want to clarify, I *need* to learn to develop applications. learning this will open up a lot of opportunities for me.

Fuck opportunities, re-read SICP and get autism bucks.

Download Visual Studio and go with the flow? You probably already know MVC, which is about what you do with any GUI app in almost any language and toolkit. You'll probably end up using C# down this route.

Alternatively, learn Qt, shit's cross-platform and adapts convincingly to its host OS's look and feel, though there'll be details which give it away. Still, more than worth a try, even though you'll most likely find yourself writing Sepples.

c++ crossplatform my friend.

I use gcc and Qt creator and just recently switched from windows to linux no problem.

suits my various need can't guarantee it will for you.

It's easy as shit if you use C# and .NET. All of the Microsoft APIs have a C++ interface. Most ENTERPRISE developers eschew C, so they don't even bother updating their consumer C compiler. You shouldn't even bother using the C Windows API. If C# is too slow, you can always write the bottlenecks in C and call it from C# as a dll, which is not so easy to do in Jabba.

Best option hands down under windows is to use Visual Studio (Free version is fine) and C# to hack out shit. Don't bother with C under windows. Lots of people will tell you to use Java. Don't avoid Java and Java programmers like the plague.

Racism is hatred for certain groups of humans based on their ancestry (e. g. anti-White racism). How is mocking populations of human-like apes racist?

I don't care. Windows is my arcade. Everyone uses it and everyone writes software for it, often exclusively. Shit just works. Windows respects my time. All the programming environments I could care to use run on Windows.

I'll boot Linux when I want. Occasionally it's useful. But most of the time I use Windows.

There is only so much effort invested into the implementation so it isn't going to be as mature as Microsoft's or Mono's implementations.
