I was just reading a Linux Mag article on Android and scripting. The underlying OS is Linux?

Yes, as is the OS for the new Palm Pre.

Python is one of the scripting languages. http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/ ... Is Python one of the supported languages simply because it (I think) has JVM bindings?

There is something called Jython which is Python on the JVM, but I don't think its widely used in comparison to standard Python which has its own VM written on C. I would be somewhat suprised if Python on andriod was Jython rather than native Python.

My bottom line question is what is preventing Haskell98 from running on "Android" if Python can?

Well if the android phones have a JVM then something like OpenQuark should do the trick. http://openquark.org/Open_Quark/Welcome.html Erik -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/
