How to program for all 3 platforms at once

(1/8) > >>

Ron88888:
I want to write desktop software that works on all three platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). What is the best/easiest way to do that?

40hz:
Easiest? Java.  :)

app103:
Easiest for me would be Lasarus/freepascal. But that would require you to have access to all 3 platforms for compiling & testing. (write once and compile for anywhere)

Ron88888:
Besides Java, how is it done in the real world? Is code written in C++ or C# for Windows, Objective C for Mac, and... I don't know what for (Li|U)nix? Sounds like a lot of extra work. How do people finesse it?

Java. For a lot of reasons: stable, well supported, and some wonderful IDEs available. And for just about anything you need to do, there's already probably a class that can get you there.
