I've actually written simple apps for my Series 40 (read: old, crufty, and underpowered) phone in Hecl, so I think even highly dynamic languages will have no problems on anything that can run this system. > My bet for the first useful non Java language on this platform would be Scala. Well, if you consider Hecl useful, it's already running (it's a pure interpreter, so it was quite simple). I'm just curious about the potential for more "heavy duty" languages like JRuby, Scala, Jython, etc... BTW, I don't think Google will come out with their own front-end language... they use Java for a lot of stuff internally, and so many people know it...why rock the boat. -- David N.
