Hello,
I'm curious (just curious) if it would be possible to implement CPython for the startKIT.
I feel like one of the gateways for a development platform will be to make other languages, possibly with a little external library to include the special functions of XC, avaliable for implementation.
Like me, I'm strongest in Javascript, Python, Ruby, and C++. XC is just being sorta...painful.
Using CPython on the startKIT

Memory constraints will be the largest problem.
If it fits in 64k it can be done.
There are several (function reduced!) python implementations for other microcontroller platforms such as ARM Cortex M3. Also check this: http://www.xcore.com/projects/python-chip even though I'm afraid this project has never seen much progress.
Other projects that focus on different languages either native or interpreted are:
http://www.xcore.com/projects/occam-pi-xmos
http://www.xcore.com/projects/working-title-xs1-forth
http://www.xcore.com/projects/dynamic-p ... e-language
http://www.xcore.com/projects/xmos-bit-scheme

Wow, that does look dead
Thanks for the reply!
I guess I'll push forward with XC then!
