Hi All,

I am wondering about a development language that would allow me to create
something like a Visual Basic form so I can develop applications on Linux
using MySql for the data server.  I think I like PHP and Python looks doable
however it is hard to tell if I can create GUI front-end.  I know it is
possible to do application development in PERL however I find Perl to be an
ugly language (sorry).  I don't think Java is the answer either.

All suggestions appreciated, even Perl.......

Thanks to you all!
