I'm heavily biased, but I think Python is a good candidate for embedded applications. This isn't exactly embedded in my opinion, but the OLPC is almost exclusively written in python and it works well in a limited-resource environment. I think Python's memory use is a bit more deterministic than perl's (based on the other comments in this thread). On the other hand, I have heard of perl being used in embedded systems before, so who knows. > > Sincerely, > Steve > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
