Hi,<br><br>depending on what you eventually want to do, you might be interested by Lua [<a href="http://www.lua.org">http://www.lua.org</a>]<br><br>It's really easy to embed (I run it on a proprietary platform, in 150KB flash + 100KB RAM, running rather big apps written in pure Lua, all bindings to GSM/GPRS, TCP/IP etc., admittedly with a few tweaks in memory management). And it's blazingly faster than Ruby. Wrt Ruby, the only thing you might miss in the core is that Lua's object paradigm is lower level (prototype based); OTOH, you might well fall in love with its metaprogramming abilities!
<br><br>Of course, if you have plenty of libs in Ruby suited to the applications you have in mind, the platform is more important than the language. But what Ruby libs would you plan to leverage in your typical openmoko application? Would it be hard to find good alternatives on luaforge [
