embedded - Best scripting language for cross compiling to ARM -
i looking "best" scripting language interpreter cross compiling arm processor. here requirements "best":
its small. ideally, i'd able decide parts of language , "standard" libraries supported. (for instance: file system, nah don't want that. floating point math, nope don't want either.)
its easy. ideally, i'd documentation/tutorial/examples on how cross-compile.
the goal: i'm writing small, simple web server in embedded arm device , i'd string processing easily. code written in c. i'd server , system-level code in c. i'd write web "application" in scripting language. language features i'm interested in are:
built-in string support built-in regex support built-in map back upwards (i.e key-value pairs object)i'd "best" come next list: perl, python, ruby, lua. open other language suggestions.
i consider lua.
lua distributed in little bundle , builds out-of-the-box in platforms have ansi/iso c compiler. lua runs on flavors of unix , windows, , on mobile devices (such handheld computers , cell phones utilize brew, symbian, pocket pc, etc.) , embedded microprocessors (such arm , rabbit) applications lego mindstorms.
pattern matching in lua lua tables should meet map requirement. lua string manipulationlua compared python
(note: python , general purpose scriping prefer lua but in terms of portability , performance on embedded processors i'd lean towards lua).
