I need to write a couple of small GUI applications but have never

I'm fairly conversant with linux but have never written any code for it.
I know this tends to be subjective and I dont want a flame war but can
anyone suggest the best language to learn to do this with?
Tcl/Tk.
I'm using Centos 4 if that's at all relevant.
(Tk might not be installed by default do:
yum install tcl tcl-devel tk tk-devel
Also you'll (optionally) want tcllib and bwidgets. Tcllib contains snit
-- a *very* useful OO package for Tcl(/Tk) -- and bwidgets contains a
useful set of extended widgets.
I have the tcllib-1.8-4 package from Fedora 5 (it is a noarch package) and
the bwidget-1.7.0-46 from Suse (also a noarch package). Both install
cleanly, even though they are not Centos packages (they both install on
any RH system with Tcl/Tk install, from RH 7.3 or later).
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/extras/5/i386/tcllib-1.8-4.fc5.noarch.rpm
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/SuSE-Linux/i386/9.3/suse/noarch/bwidget-1.7.0-46.noarch.rpm
(There are newer version available on rpmfind -- I don't know if the
newer packages will install cleanly or not -- the noarch ones probably
will, since these would be pure Tcl code.)
thanks in advance.
