Yes, a lot of them are. I believe there are also PalmOS compilers for Java and other languages (forgot what they are), but the most common language for PalmOS programming is C/C++.

Some apps (like 312's scouting app and 236's scoring app) are created with development packages like Satellite Forms or PenDragon Forms. They reduce development time and are easier to work with. They obviously don't allow for as much custimization as a program written in C, but for a scouting database they should be sufficient.

That said, I still used C for WASH because I thought it would be more fun & a bigger challenge, and I wanted to add timers which I don't think I could have done with a development package. Plus I didn't have $900 laying around.
