Version of Ruby for Palm OS?

[John Joyce]

Does anyone know if a version of Ruby has ever been written to run on =
the
Palm OS? If so, can you provide any references?

Thanks,

John

Wow, another John Joyce here.
Don't know of a PalmOS version, but isn't Palm migrating to Linux
anyway?

John,

I believe Palm is using Linux in some of their new devices, primarily phones
I think, but all the devices I have to work with run the Palm OS. Since
discovering that IBM had a version of Java for the Palm, I just thought I'd
check to see if anyone had gotten around to implementing Ruby as well.

Thanks for the feedback,

John

John Joyce,

This is getting wierd...
If there is a Java for Palm, then you can run JRuby if nothing else.

Hi John Joyces (it took me a while to figure that out),

The Java for Palm is actually an implementation of J2ME - I'm not sure
if JRuby will run on that!

Cheers,
Mohit.

Yes, it seems we are a programmer's puzzle...
That's a good question though, will JRuby run on J2ME?!
I hope so!

JRuby will almost definitely not run on J2ME. It absolutely doesn't
run on the Java for Lego Mindstorms, but that's a whole nother ball of
wax.

I saw a thing on the Web about a Ruby for the iPhone but haven't ever
gotten confirmed reports, and I don't have an iPhone myself.
