I already know C and have experience with ObjC and some C#. I've gone through the Vala tutorials, not really too complicated. I prefer to use a language like ObjC or Vala to do GUI programming, but QT appears to have momentum (e.g. LXDE porting to QT, Linus Torvalds porting his diving app Subsurface to QT [1]) which means having to use C++ as the bindings to other languages are always somewhat lagging. Perhaps C++11 is better for keeping one's sanity, but I haven't used C++ in a long time and I never really missed it, so I'm not sure I would enjoy QT and C++ programming.
