Language in which to write a mouse gesture application for linux?

I'开发者_开发百科m a bit of a mouse gesture fanatic (I love them!). On Windows, I use the awesome application Strokeit (simply perfect) for my mouse gesture needs. But on Linux there exists no sweet mouse gesture app. So I want to code my own (at least give it a shot).

So: which language should I choose to write a mouse gesture app for linux ? I know PHP, C# and a bit of C.

You don't

sudo apt-get build-dep wayv
apt-get source wayv --compile

And you'll have the source code done. It's in ANSI C, for the record:

Totals grouped by language (dominant language first):
ansic:         1658 (100.00%)

I don't know how good it is, but certainly good enough to be improved by you!
