Anyone knows any tools that allow cross platform development the RAD way? I checked out RealBasic, but unf. the demo is only 10 days and I couldn't really do what I wanted with it (and the lack of a native status bar doesn't really push my buttons). I'm not too concerned with the language of it, even if it is a scripting one, what I want is a minimal exe (i can stand a one meg does nothing app, but not a 20+MB like java requirement)

If it has support for MySQL even better, but I can accept it if it doesn't.

Any ideas?

QT trolltech. ?

pat.

Python (www.python.org) does this.
I suppose you'll be wanting a nifty IDE...? Have a look here. (http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PythonEditors)

I guess it kinda depends if you want to write games or applications. If it's games, Python with Pygame looks pretty neat. I've not tried it yet, but I've been meaning to for the last while!

For apps I'm not so sure. I'd recommend Java, but you're not so keen on it.

Delphi/Kylix, includes mysql support.
