Tcl (Tool Command Language) is an open-source scripting (programming) language, building on concepts from Lisp, C, and shell languages, around since 1988, available for Mac/Unix/Win and for some years also for Windows CE (Mobile). Tk is the matching GUI toolkit (also cross-platform, and used by Pythoneers and Perlites as well).
One nice feature is that you can develop on the little thing itself, by editing a .txt file in Pocket Word. Or edit on a desktop, and synch.

As XDA mini (Magician) owner, I quickly installed Tcl/Tk on the little thing, and I have found no problems yet with the apps and games (except that some font sizes are better increased for the small screen). Just Works. Further findings will be reported on http://wiki.tcl.tk/14530
A list of ported programs (which mostly just requires limiting the window geometry to 240x320) is at http://wiki.tcl.tk/8688
Are there other Tcl users in this forum?
