Holy Heckle and Jeckle: Scripting for MIDP/Java ME technology

David N. Welton pointed out (in one of my blog post comments) that he has a cool tool for writing MIDlets from a Web browser using his and Wolfgang Kechel's open source Mobile scripting language called Hecl.

See:

Heck, it's a Mobile scripting language called Hecl

Here's a quote: 

 The Hecl Programming Language is a 
 high-level, open source scripting 
 language implemented in Java.  It 
 is intended to be small, extensible, 
 extremely flexible, and easy to 
 learn and use.  Infact, it's small 
 enough that it runs on J2ME-enabled 
 cell phones!
You take one of the existing script examples or write your own and see it running in a Java applet. Then you can also run it on your Java ME cell phone. Geez, all the new and interesting things people have done with Java ME technology--it just doesn't ever stop!

Thanks for the mention! A lot of the credit for the cool, in-browser development goes to the guys behind the open source MicroEmulator project, which provides a completely free java me emulator:

Hi Wendong,

Cool! Thanks for the additional links to other Java ME-based scripting languages.
