Anyone making any progress on porting a Tcl like interpreter for PalmOS?

the Palm Pilot. Lisp, C, and FORTH are not alternatives - people
are looking for something a bit higher level.

I tried to get JCW's tinytcl working, but ran into STL problems as there's no
ansiC lib for it to be based on when using the PRC-Tools cross-compiler.
I considered porting a subset of the STL to the native PalmOS calls, but then I
realized that was nuts just to use std::vector et al.

That isn't very empowering.

i fully expect it to be done when the python peope do it for python first.
there'll be a python/tkinter on beos before tcl/tk also :/

Oh, is there a new version of Tkinter not dependant on Tcl/tk? I wasn't
aware of that - where can I read more on how it is implemented?

Well that's an instant no-go really. Tkinter still relies on having all
of Tcl included, and the lack of a toolbox to write for in Tk will be the
limiting factor for any UI toolkit writer. Tcl is another question, but
noone has convinced me why a handheld would make much good use of just
a scripting language with no UI...

i could live with just tcl on a pilot...

you'd have to check the beos newsgroups. last time i was there (a while ago
now) somebody was working on a graphics extension to python...it came up in
a thread about tcl/tk for beos, i'm just assuming it was tk(inter) and not
something else...
