C# for the nspire
« on: September 06, 2010, 03:12:20 pm »
(I hope I am in the right forum)

Well, I was wondering if this was possible, I really like C# and it would be awsome for it to be ported to the nspire

Though I don't know the possibility of this happening because C# is not compiled, it is interpreted..


Discuss

Woah... Wut?

I didn't think C# was interpreted, I could have sworn it was compiled...  You might be thinking of java which is interpreted on the fly (as it is being run).  Python is also interpretted.

Regardless, I think C# would be ok for the Nspire.  I'd personally stick with C.

Yeah, C# is interpreted, though the .NET VM and Mono, just like the JVM, have some form of JIT-ing.
For completeness: both C# and Java can be compiled [Ahead Of Time], but then you lose portability, and some capabilities.

[EDIT: making the second sentence more precise]

thanks Lionel

Now back to the topic!

Can C# be ported to the nspire once we get the proper libraries, this will make programming on the nspire alot easier for us .NET framework users (Like SirCmpwn)

The .NET framework takes 850 MB of disk space. You couldn't fit it on 26 Nspires.

Someone would most likely have to write a dumbed-down version of it, assuming it's interpreted, meaning a lot of stuff would be missing.

Maybe someone could write a similar language but compiled, though. At the same time, it would be nice to have Axe Parser for Nspires

I agree DJ, I think that could work, it could do without things like Web applications and such

Let's go for C++ support first. The Nspire is slow enough without the overhead of an interpreter.
It's probably possible though, since Java runs on slow, ARM platforms.

i am sure it could be possible. I am certain it can't be any worse than TI-BASIC interpreter source code

For c++, isn't it just a matter of using g++ rather than gcc?

We don't have a standard library, and it is doubtful that the OS contains a C++ standard library.

Isn't c++ backwrds compatible with C code?
