New Development Project - What to do it in?

["Bob Cagle" <bcagle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey everyone,

 

I have a simple file maintenance program that I need to create for our
inventory department.  In the "golden" days, I would just have copied
one of my RPG "work with" subfile-shells, modified it and been done with
it, but I want to provide them with a GUI.  I figured that this is a
simple enough program for me to finally get my feet wet creating a
production GUI.  Which language should I do it in, though?  I was
thinking Java, but it is slow and more for "web-enablement".  And I am
not sure about the production quality of VARPG.  Right now, those are my
only two options - anything else would require the purchase of a
compiler.  Does anyone else have any thoughts?
