Anyone doing Tcl development on gOS?
Larry W. Virden
that has been occurring with the under $200 computer available from
Wal-Mart and gOS, a Ubuntu distribution designed to run on it.
Considering the limited resources on the machine, Tcl might be a
candidate for a development language for the distribution. If someone
has a warm spot in their heart for development of software that runs
on small resources, particularly making use of shared resources, etc.
this might be something to look into.

the decision of Apple to open iPhone to third-party developers,
suggests an historic opportunity for Tcl/Tk/Tile to enhance visibility
and popularity, if an efficient, attractive, feature-rich cross-
platform set of basic applications were to be written for these
products.

I got the Hecl interpreter running on Google's Android within a few
hours of its release:

Now I'm working on actually making the GUI API available, which is a
bigger task. Help wanted:-)

The Android API is much more extensive, so there's more work to do.
On the other hand, the Java reflection API is available (along with
other more modern Java features), so I did some hacking and am using
that to call out to the Java code, which saves massive amounts of
code. I'm not sure that that will be the final design though, I'm
still playing.
