I second that, what do you want to do?

For my own needs I used tcl/tk. RealBasic is not a bad RAD tool, object 
oriented, but it's not open source and it's not even clear if the Linux 
version is still free, but then it's portable.

I don't like C-like syntax myself, and had many bad experiences with Java 
(would run nowhere, always missed this or that library, jar file, etc...) but 
others will certainly have another opinion.

Another question would be: how far do you want to go? I program for myself, so 
that's different from developping apps for others.
