Programming cell phones in Ruby ?

Nuralanur

Dear all,

I would like to play around with my cell phone a bit ... it understands Java
MIDP1.0 -- is there any way to access this from Ruby ?
I have found JRuby in RAA - can you recommend this for some
very simple game coding or changing ring tones ?

Best regards,

Axel

No its not possible as the J2ME JVms are not tradition or standard JVms
but sized down JVMs with severe access restrictions and the like..

A language like Ruby is probably a bit big for a cell phone (today's
cell phones, at least). While not as fancy, you might have a look at
Hecl (http://ww...) which is at least a scripting language with
some of the dynamic goodness of Ruby...

Hey, Python's available for Series 60 cell phones[1], so why not
Ruby, right? It's a pretty nice alternative to Ruby if you're writing
for S60 phones. Next best thing, anyway, considering the other options.
