I vote for this one!

Currently there are not many programming languages for Symbian
(Series60). And smartphone market using symbian is now at more than 70%.

The languages for Series 60 programming are:

1. the most low level one: C++ that is powerful but very iritating to
   eyes!

   example:
   
void CBTModifiedServiceAdvertiser::LocalServiceAddL (TInt aPort, const
TDesC8& aHostName )
{
CSdpAttrValueDES* attrValProt;
CSdpAttrValueString* attrValString;
iSdpDatabase.CreateServiceRecordL( KSerialClassId, iRecord );
TBuf8<2> channel;
channel.Append( (TChar)(aPort<<8) );
channel.Append( (TChar)aPort );
attrValProt = CSdpAttrValueDES::NewDESL( NULL );
CleanupStack::PushL( attrValProt );
attrValProt
->StartListL()
->BuildDESL()
->StartListL()

2. Java (MIDP 2.0), Nokia made a very good implementation, but
   unfortunately cannot access device files, call symbian API, etc
   
3. Python: not as powerful as c++ above and the implementation is not
   complete, too.

Next should be Euphoria, shouldn't it?
- can access low level APIs :)
- simple enough to understand :)
- no thread :(

p> Dear readers...

p> here's the thing

p> I live at college and recently i got my 'fund'. and I recently grab a
p> nokia n-gage(series-60).
p> actually , i think that ngage is marvelous! 
p> and it can do many things...
p> but i was wrong....
p> nokia n-gage is running symbianOS , not windows,linux nor freeBSD
p> i dont want to migrate to other programming language because euphoria is
p> very good language!


p> because PHYTON can run on symbian platform (nokia series-60) , 
p> i was wandering...
p> if there anyone out there would be 'converting' Euphoria to support
p> SYMBIAN OS ?

p> It would be relly great if Euphoria can be runned on SYMBIAN....
