I was looking to create an application to track certain MySQL data in real time. I.e. when a new person registers, etc. What would be the best language to do this in? C++, C,Java? I’m looking for whatever language will have the smallest memory footprint.

If you are making a web application with users registering your server will have to run constantly and probably store to a DB…so implicitly real time. As far as what you would write such a site in – I think Java/J2EE, Ruby, or the new and hot Node.JS are all viable, along with numerous others.
…and you could always use cron to run every few seconds too, heh.
Does this address your question?
