Another option is to use a scripting language
(like Tcl/Tk, PyGtk, or
PyQt) for the GUI parts. However, when you're mixing it with your
core C/C++ parts, I find it really hard to debug these programs.
While working on jack_mixer[1], I was pleasantly surprised by being able
to use gdb to get backtraces from the C code even when it was called from
the Python frontend.
The interfacing between Python and C could be easier though.
