Python and ruby are getting a lot of positive attention these days, so you
might look in that direction. Java is now open source and has been used
for a while in teaching, so that's an option, too.
However, it's not so much the language as the tools (modules, libraries,
etc) available.
For those, I'd suggest looking at Qt
http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt
It's available under a dual license. It's available for C++. If you look
around, you can also find APIs for python, perl, java and maybe even ruby.
Two other options in about the same category as Qt are GTK+ and wxWidgets:
GTK+

wxWidgets
