Which technology stack do you recommend for developing native windows executable (has GUI), other than .NET stack?
Other that C++ (MFC, …) some could be named; yet which one is mature and pragmatic enough?
- Delphi 7?
- Common Lisp (Which one is proper for developing GUI?)?
- Scheme?
- Qt or wxXXX stack?
For native Win32 GUI apps, I’ve found nothing that beats Delphi. (Your question asks about Delphi 7, but please note that all versions of Delphi (including the latest – Delphi 2010) can produce single, standalone .EXEs).
