If you want to generate data structures for defining the windows,
controls, etc. which are embedded in the source code (instead of leaving
the definitions in resources) then C is easier than Pascal, because Pascal
doesn't allow pre-initialized variables (you have to write code to
initialize all your data structures).
This is not likely, though.
The most common way of using Genesys is to use the resources directly,
possibly generating constants which are used in the source.
My preferred method is to generate Rez source from Genesys, then modify
the Rez source as required (adding custom resources, and enabling features
which are not supported by Genesys). The Rez source is then compiled to
create the resource fork of the final application.
With either of these methods, it doesn't matter what language you use.
