[postgis-users] best language for desktop + postgis

[Paul Ramsey]

Depends on what you mean by "desktop interaction".  For client side  
scripting I would recommend Python, because the Python GIS guys (Sean  
and Howard) have put a lot of effort into making sure there are  
useful bindings to things like proj, geos, gdal, mapscript and also  
some utility support for postgis data structures.  For "desktop GIS"  
start with something like uDig and elabourate/customize via extension.
