I think that "multi-language" applications are quite viable. For example, I have created a sudoku GUI in C# that interacts with traditional C/C++ sudoku generators/solvers. This combination takes advantage of the .NET Framework's strengths in GUI building (events, reflection, and metadata) without sacrificing the speed offered by the native executables. The only issue becomes the interface between the different applicaiton components, because sometimes the overhead introduced by the interface negates the advantages of separating the components.
Thanks for the advices.
I will have to think over.
I knew Fortran, Cobol and C and there are good interfaces between procedures written in differrent languages on PC platform and midrange platform too.
I think that interactive interface does not to have a quick performance so it can be written in Java.
Computations Fortran or Cobol.
I think it is better to start with free source engine and try to modify it. What are obligations of GPL, if i will modify sth for my needs am i obliged to publish that ?
When i catch what is importnt in the program I will try to write my own.

You remind me when I was programming some Statistical quality control procedures in RPG II !
Those were times ( a bit acrobatic... )!
(about 30 years ago...)
At the moment there is ILE RPG IV , ILE Cobol, ILE C
and procedures written in thouse languges are easy to call.
RPG II, yes it was difficult to programming, more difficult to read and modify.
I have had a luck to start with RPG III.
