Starting at $39.95, the pricing isn't too bad either!

Note there is also a free "lite" version that should give most people a good taste of the product.

I haven't gotten going with it yet, but it seems to be very well developed for the version 1 label.

Thanks, we are about to release v1.02 which will fix a few things and will also add a few new features.

Interesting. As a Smalltalker turned Java developer this is definitely interesting.

Questions...
1. Do you have access to the WM/CE interfaces from within the language.
2. Any plans to make this language .net managed? Assuming its not.

The second question is really an uneducated one. I'm not even sure about .net compact framework's relationship to .net proper.

Hi, Thanks for you interest in PPL.

1. You can access pretty much any possible features of the WinCE OS from PPL.

2. We don't plan on .Net, sorry. The .Net platform would just slow the interpreter down by almost half the speed.

Believe me, no need to apologize. :wink:
