So yet another platform and market - which I think is great news for developers.

I kind of have an insane dream where maybe instead of going for the usual platform candidate of say, a C derived language, Java platform or some kind of Web derived platform (widgets, WebOS et al), maybe someone will take a risk on doing something different.

Imagine if the Kindle platform was say, Scheme or Lua based? With a very simple (shallow not deep) set of libraries to access the screen, storage and network facilities.

It will never happen of course. But I wish someone would do it.
