  2. A scripting language, Hecl by DavidNWelton · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In a bit of blatant self promotion...

    The Hecl Programming Language: http://www.hecl.org/

    It's an open source scripting language that's compact enough to run on cell phones. If you're the adventurous/hacker type, it's still in the early stages of development, but is far along enough to write real apps, such as this shopping list system:

    It's a great time to get involved in the project because it's in its early stages, and there is a lot of fun to be had!
