Hi all

would anyone know if there exists a programming language that meets
below criteria:
1. should make it possible to create both gui interfaces and
associated code
2. should make it possible to create basic gui without too much code
3. should make it possible to code without a heavy IDE

A scripting language would also be fine (if you are into separating
them between programming and scripting) as long as it meets the
criteria.

Basically I am looking for a language that could eventually be run
even on the smaller computers. The point being is that it could be
used for simple prototyping when e.g. waiting on a bus.

Thanks in advance,

I've had good results from using Python for scripting and wxpython for
the GUI. Here is an introduction to combining the two

I didn't need any form of IDE though you could use one if you wanted.

Take a look at UNICON, an object oriented, internet capable, database
enabled, GUI based, unified, extended version of Icon:
http://www.unicon.org. its Open Source on Windows, Mac, and Linux
platforms with extensive libraries of graphics procedures.

A programming language? For a GUI...

Perhaps:

Tcl/Tk? Qt? WxWidgets? <---found via Wikipedia search engine...

Almost all the programming languages can fit these criteria. Those are
criteria more relevant to an implementation than to a language.

Once upon a time I used LispMe, a little scheme on Palm.
