I plan to build some Windows based GUI applications for educational

I'm not sure what's the best programming language/framework to handle
this. I was thinking about C# and .NET, do you have a better advice?


Haskell. No seriously, stop laughing :-)

GHC can be used/built with wxwidgets so you get you
gui and you also get a proper "math" language.

sample program to calculate factorial
fact 1 = 1
fact n | n > 1 = n * fact n - 1

return a list of all factorials from a given number
downwards using the above function?

allfact 1 = [1]
allfact n | n > 1 = [fact n] ++ allfact n - 1
