If you're looking for a language whose implementation *might* be portable to the N800, you might want to look at smarteiffel. It's a strongly-typed, secure language with garbage collector, and it compiles down to C, which gets further conmpiled down to whatever the local machine code is. The developers seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to make sure the generated C code is portable -- presumably because they don't want to have to maintain different versions for different architectures. It's not a good language for people who like debugging, since having a program run the first time it compiles cleanly is moderately common. -- hendrik
