Yes, I use C.

Another thing I'd like to see is an EASY and SIMPLE way to program in
GEM.  The example source code in the SDK is huge and I think that it
could be much simpler.  For example, a hello world program for the
console is a few lines, but about 200 lines in GEM.  It'd be nice to
see a programming library for GEM that simplifies this; IIRC it is
even much easier to program in GTK+.  I'm not sure if it is complex if
one is using PASCAL, but at least it seems complex in C.
