WideStudio

WideStudio is an open source integrated development environment for desktop applications purely made in Japan. This enables you to develop GUI applications that can run on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/CE, Linux, FreeBSD, SOLARIS, Mac OS X (w/X11), BTRON, T-Engine, mu-CLinux (wo/X11) in various programming languages such as C/C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, Python, Objective Caml.

Since an application is build on MWT (Multi-Platform Widget Toolkit) which runs on multiple platforms, WideStudio applications are all source compatible between these platforms. If you developed an application in C/C++ language, you only need to re-compile the source code to run on a different platform in as native code.
