OT: GUI programming languages

[Jacob Yocom-Piatt]

have been coding touchscreen-driven applications using visual basic 
lately and am sick of VB. i would much rather be using openbsd with 
another programming language that allows me to accomplish the same sort 
of stuff.

i have no "formal" CS background so am at a loss for good candidates. 
the applications in question are "click here, prints something in a text 
box, etc" ones that are not very complex. a language that allows me to 
generate GUIs quickly and securely would be nice.

if you feel the reply is not relevant to the list, please respond to me 
directly.

cheers,
jake
