The Android Scripting Environment (ASE) brings scripting languages to Android by allowing you to edit and execute scripts and interactive interpreters directly on the Android device. These scripts have access to many of the APIs available to full-fledged Android applications, but with a greatly simplified interface that makes it easy to:
* Handle intents
* Start activities
* Make phone calls
* Send text messages
* Scan bar codes
* Poll location and sensor data
* Use text-to-speech
* And more
Moksha is a platform for creating live collaborative applications. It provides a layer of cohesion and collaboration between existing applications, services, and communities.
Sage lets you build rich, highly functional, cross platform web-enabled desktop applications and applets by simply marking up the UI and attaching JavaScript (or Ruby, Python, etc.) event handlers. You simply point sage to a URL and it downloads the markup and accompanying scripts and renders the application or applet in real-time (the same way a browser renders documents). All that is required to run Sage is a Java Virtual Machine (v1.5 or later, v1.6 preferred).
Hm. RAD environment with Swing GUI, no downloads yet (2008-08-18), uses an proprietary scripting language, only the Enterprise Edition (2.2 K $) allows to use the Java API. Targeted customer group seems to be procedural developers. What sort of Java product should that be where you need to mention that you can write your own classes??? doesn't seem to use the Java EE API, would be interesting if the "ObjectScript" is interpreted or bytecode.
IMHO too proprietary, goes into the wrong direction for bigger enterprises.
A dynamic, open source programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.
