C
Any X11 program can be made into an activity. See Low-level Activity API.

Non-Standard Alternatives

These require additional libraries to be loaded, and as such, not recommended.

Qt
A library for creating XO activities using C++ and Qt is under development by Ark Linux. See the Qt page for details.
