They have the widest reach, are well established, and are already known there. As long as it's cross-platform, I'll be happy. (oops – hit submit too soon)

But I would be surprised if they did anything but Java or C/C++. They have the widest reach, are well established, and are already known there. As long as it’s cross-platform, I’ll be happy.

I would be surprised if anything usable is ready in less than a couple of years. Ruby and Python I could understand, but does anyone write cross-platform desktop applications in Perl? Hopefully they will consider Ruby or Python, as CocoaRuby and PyObjC should let you build a nice Mac client. I'm assuming there are equivalent toolkits on Windows and Linux as well. It will be interesting to see which way they go. The wheels of progress turn slowly at the Church. I would be surprised if anything usable is ready in less than a couple of years.
