Simkin# (or SimkinCS if you will)

Out of a desire to have a scripting language for the .NET Compact Framework, I've recently ported Simkin from Java to C#. Simkin is a "high-level lightweight embeddable scripting language for Java or C++ and XML" originally written by Simon Whiteside. This page has an online demo in Java (warning, might not play nice in all browsers).

Here's a screenshot of SimkinCS running in .NET in a demo app. Click on the picture for a larger view. You can download this proof-of-concept application here.

Update (May 17th, 2006 @ 2:02PM): You need the .NET 2.0 runtime environment to run this application. You can download the .NET 2.0 redistributable package here. This is the reason why the application fails to run and returns the error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)" on some systems. My guess is, though, if you read this blog you likely have .NET 2.0 installed on your machine.
