Is there any language other than Java that will work as ubiquitous on mobile?

I'm trying to write a rogue-like game for my blackberry and hopefully any other phone that supports some sort of JVM.

Because I use Java in my job I'm looking to write the game in another language but I cannot find a language that will work on multiple phones.

Am I stuck with Java?

Solution

  • If you're programming for Android, you could for example use Scala, see Scala on Android. Scala compiles to Java bytecode. There are also other languages which can be compiled to Java bytecode; I don't know how well-suited they are for Android programming.
