Title: newLISP on android ?
Post by: Ormente on October 07, 2010, 07:55:14 AM
I played with ASE (//http), mainly with the Lua interpreter, and found it pretty cool!

I wondered if it could be possible to have newLISP availlable as a scripting engine for ASE.



Someone know how to do that ?



EDIT : found this doc (http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/wiki/InterpreterDeveloperGuide) but a bit esoteric to me.

I am very interested in using newLISP to program on the Android as well.



I am guessing that for the link you provided, it would be to make a request of that projects programmers to include newLISP in their compatible interpreters?



or as they suggest, someone to write the newLISP interpreter for them:

When comparing ipad2/iOS with motorola xoom/Android 3.X it seems that newLISP for Anrdoid might be the better option for a newLISP-target in the tablet area.

The licence should be not the problem there, right?

It is now possible to put a newLISP interpreter on the iPad, but I don't think the user would be allowed to program iPad applications using this interpreter and iOS GUI elements.



The interpreters I have looked at (Pixie Scheme and Hand Basic), only offer interactive modes to type expressions and statements for evaluation, but don't offer any GUI elements. There are legal limitations set by Apple to do this. The same reason they don't allow the Adobe Flash-to-HTML5 translator.



Currently the only app which does something similar is JsAnywhere, where you can program in JavaScript and HTML/CSS.



The Android platform, may not have these limitations, but until now, no Android tablet has emerged, attractive enough for me to program something for it. Currently the Android market is just too fragmented and there is no guarantee that something you program for one device will work on an other one too.

So when I currently want to use newLISP on a tablet the Win 7-tablets like asus Eee Slate are the only choice:

The Win 7 touch API may not be so comfortable as in iOS/Android but you have the complete choice of windows software. And with the Eee Slate you get also a WACOM stylus with its own API.



Really not sure whats the best choice! ;-(
