The WebOS (the OS that runs on Palm's devices) uses JavaScript as it's primary 
development language. You can code raw javascript against the DOM in the 
webview, or use Palm's JavaScript library & toolkit called Mojo, which 
implements all of the standard UI controls, lists, etc. There will soon be a 
Plugin Development Kit as well, which gives you a straight C+Linux+OpenGL API 
based on SDL, for the times you really need low level access (ex: OpenGL 3D 
games).
