Is there any scripting support on Windows Phone?

Question

On Windows Mango, does a supported scripting environment exist?

Is there any support for powershell or python or perl?

Answer 1

I may be off topic here, but there is a way to make scripts on the phone. The TouchDevelop app allows you to do pretty cool things.

If your question is about using a scripting language to create applications, then the answer will be NO.

Answer 2

WP7 does not support Python or perl / powershell. See IronPython Request:

You can use JavaScript in the WebBrowser .

Answer 3

You can use Powershell at the service level by adding System.Management.Automation and Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Utility services to the project.

Answer 4

There is no official scripting environment for WP7, but there is an IronRuby working port (although I have never tried it): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff960707.aspx
