Possibilities include (but are not limited to) Python ( done), Ruby, Perl, Go, Javascript, Haskell, Lisp, C#/Mono, D, Brainf*k, LOLCode... whatever someone is willing to put the work into, is possible.
I'd be interested in seeing someone create WPILib bindings for Go or Javascript. |
Go is actually used for some of our tests here at WPI. Rather easy to compile for arm. Javascript and Ruby (and Python) in theory should be able to work *RIGHT NOW* via the JVM with Nashorn or Rhino, JRuby, and Jython respectively. Hmm... now I have to go try this out...
EDIT: It would require a bit more work than running the jars. Most of them seem to require classes that aren't in the profile on the RoboRIO
