Thanks for those links Elliot. When I looked in the git repo you included, I noticed that a lot of the logic in the app is driving through Javascript. Does that mean that there is a Javascript interpreter embedded in Moblin somewhere or that this is going to be used inside some kind of web runtime app? I can see that there are perl bindings to clutter which is great - am I being to impatient in asking for perl bindings to MX too?
