It's certainly feasible. I had a go at porting LUA to Rockbox and it wasn't too hard. The largest chunk of work is making the Rockbox API visible to the scripting language. Though even then it mainly just requires some thinking and manual work to write up all the API wrappers. You can see the LUA patch here http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/task/9174 Now I just wish I had some time to finish it. Cheers, Dan
