I have a Fortran program that I would like to implement a GUI with. In
doing a little reading around the net it seems that I will probably
want to call a different programming language such as C++, Java, or
Python. Starting out the GUI will be really simple: something like
"You are running blah blah blah. Continue?" --- with yes and no
buttons. If things go smoothly the GUI could get considerably more
complex.
My question: is this feasible? If so what would be the best language
to do this with? I know nothing about C, C++, or Java, but I know a
little Python. Or is there something else that would be better? Are
there any good books or online references on interfacing two different
languages (one of which being Fortran)?
Thank you!

Consider also HTML (and as you like, add in CSS and javascript).

Hi Brady
Well, I slapped a Java front-end on to an existing Fortran code. It
was either that or rewrite the Fortran into Java; commercial pressure
required one or the other. One of the problems I tackled is that Java
doesn't have a very flexible approach to integrating with 'foreign'
languages. There is the JNI (Java Native Interface) which is intended
for integration with 'legacy' code, as long as that code is written in
C or C++. My eventual solution was to first wrap the Fortran in C++,
then to integrate that with the Java. After a lot of head-scratching
I got it working on both Linux (64 bit, 32 bit, .so libraries) and
Windows (32 bit DLL).
