Ultimate++ (http://upp.sourceforge.net) is a C++ cross-platform rapid
application development suite. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL,
etc..), and an integrated development environment.

Rapid development is achieved by the smart and aggressive use of C++
rather than through fancy code generators. In this respect, U++ competes
with popular scripting languages while preserving C/C++ runtime
characteristics.
