I found a Squirrel package for SL4A.
How about supporting this officially.

I installed it into my android phone.
It seems the install succeed.
But when I selected the "Add" menu it falls.
So I wrote a Squireel code from an editor and named it "Hello.nut"
Write this code.

print("Hello\n");

It gets some rpc error message but it seems the output works !

It wasn't an error. It was only print messages for debug.
I tried these kind of codes and it worked nice !

dofile("/sdcard/com.googlecode.squirrelforandroid/init.nut");
android.makeToast("Toast using Squirrel");
android.webViewShow("http://www.google.com");
android.launch("com.android.calculator2.Calculator");
android.notify("Notify using Squirrel","Message");
android.ttsSpeak("Speak using Squirrel");
android.vibrate();

By the way, What's the difference with the Issues list and the forum site ?
It seems that some messages are hide (or maybe post failed or maybe not 
permitted).

I investigated what is required to support Squirrel.

1. Add SquirrelLanguage.java to 
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/source/browse/android/Common/src/com/
googlecode/android_scripting/language/

It needs at least these codes.

///////////////////////////////
package com.googlecode.android_scripting.language;
public class SquirrelLanguage extends Language {}
///////////////////////////////

2. Fix the class SupportedLanguages at enum KnownLanugage in 
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/source/browse/android/Common/src/com/
googlecode/android_scripting/language/SupportedLanguages.java

It needs this code below between [PHP(".php", PhpLanguage.class)] and [;].

///////////////////////////////
SQUIRREL(".nut", SquirrelLanguage.class)
///////////////////////////////

3. Add an icon named "nut_icon.png" in 
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/source/browse/android/ScriptingLayerF
orAndroid/res/drawable/
(It means all support languages icon have to be in the SL4A's apk.)
The name must be "nut_icon.png". It seems to be a rule.
See more information in 
http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/source/browse/android/Common/src/com/
googlecode/android_scripting/FeaturedInterpreters.java
"getInterpreterIcon" decides the icon name.

(4.Optional) If SL4A supports "Squirrel" officially it should have an apk path 
to download.
It's also in FeaturedInterpreters.java.

Perhaps only these procedures. If there is some other things to be done please 
reply to this.
