Not true. Not since 2010 anyway. You can now code iOS apps in any language you want. There are apps in the Apple App Store written in Squeak, and Lua, and I guess many other languages. E.g. here is a Python environment: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/python-for-ios/id485729872?mt=8 There are of course other reasons why you wouldn't get Sugar into the app store (see e.g. my message from yesterday). But the programming language is no problem. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
