J2ME development without Java?

Question

I'm making my first foray into the J2ME world. I'd prefer to use a functional language to do the development.

Scala used to have CLDC support, but it's no longer maintained. Bigloo seems to have disappeared.

Interpreters (such as Jython) are a no-go, since J2ME apps have to be small (at least, mine has to be).

I would like to know of anyone who has been able to use another JVM language to build J2ME apps.

Answer 1

Running a different language on top of CLDC might be cool but the devices are usually very constrained in memory and CPU that this is merely impossible.

Look forward to JavaFX which will bring new wind to mobile marketplace. For existing handsets you have to use Java ME.

Answer 2

If you're on Symbian, you can try Python for S60
