There was a discussion on the mailing list in January about choosing a built-in scripting language. Many good arguments were expressed, but disappointingly, it appears to have not gone anywhere.
Many different scripting languages will be optionally available in the repository. However, developers who choose one of these languages for their applications will not be able to see their applications included in the standard ROM nor available for use by those without an external microSD card. A scripting language should be chosen as the default. Yes, it'll be a hard choice, but there's also no 'wrong choice' (except for "none"). I've put a lot of work into http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wishlist:BuiltInScriptingLanguage. Please comment here or on the discussion page. Harold, Sean and the rest of the OpenMoko team: please, please make a decision, and make it soon. There are several of us that are delaying development of OpenMoko applications in the hope that a scripting language will be chosen soon. Apologies for quoting so liberally from list e-mails, but I feel it was the right thing to do. thank you, Bryan _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
