I am working on a presentation on the Raspberry Pi for early next year. I plan on demonstrating how the "pi" can extend popular programming languages outside of the computer in to the real world. The Arduino requires one to programming in a Basic like language, where as the power of the "Pi" lies with the ability to program in almost any language.
So the question for comment is what "languages" do we care about? For example here are the most popular "Pi" languages: Python C / C++ Perl PHP ( and thus HTML, XML, etc. ) Ruby What is not really feasible is Java do to "Pi" do constrained memory ( only 128Mb of core memory is not really enough for a Java VM ). Thus other then the languages above is there any other that people use that would be of interest? If so please provide an argument as to why it would be reverent. For instance I need a really REALLY good reason why "I need to turn on a light via a haskel program". -- /** Joe Apuzzo ** Call: KD2AKU ** PGP/GPG: key ID BB5C7 **/
