Short answer : by using language of higher level than C or C++.

Which one ? : Java, D, Vala.

Java is a bit slow and if Mageia tools is developed under this or another 
similar language, they will became dependant of this language runtime 
environment.

Please André don't break the thread once again. Use the reply command of your mailer to reply to messages ar change your mailer, but it become awkward to see you breaking threads, while you have already been warned about this. BTW, I answer back on the original thread (at least I try)No offense (I am not an englidh native speaker).

Slowness of Java is a myth now a day. I currently work in a big french company who build an embedded time critical system (missile trajectory detection and self defense response. Yes it is about weapons.). Everything runs on GNU/linux in Java.

Java is definitively not slow to make interactive programs. About the dependency several points :
- Java is now free and open source, so the dependency is relative
- low level libraries can still be done in C/C++ with well crafted bindings to high level languages - there are other candidates, D for instance or Vala for Gobject/Gnome programming which have no dependencies on runtime if, for some reason and some projects, runtime dependency is a concern.
