I've been using Xojo for a little while, which is kind of like a cross-platform Visual Basic. It's pretty nice other than a fairly limited standard library (json is supported but not zip files, no object serialization and limited file/path manipulation functions). Also there's no "community edition" or similar so you have to be pretty sure you want to use it before paying up the $300 for a license.
