On my motorcycle ride home last night (around 1am and a Truck tried to kill me on the expressway) ... I thought of a work-around on how to get J on the iPhone (besides the IRC) if the SDK license is a problem.
For those who don't know, the iPhone SDK states that we cannot build and application on the iPhone that would allow development (I'm paraphrasing here). But, they actually allow Games that runs on emulators. So I was wondering if J on the iPhone would be a sort of runtime only where you can execute J scripts (IJS files). Development would be on a Mac/Win/Linux but it would execute on the iPhone. Would the idea fly? r/Alex -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gilles Kirouac Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 10:53 AM To: General forum Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] J on the Palm Pre However it may come someday ...
