It is my understanding that the issue isn't a restriction on scripting languages per-se, but on any application that can run arbitrary code. On that basis, I concluded that a tclkit (i.e. single file executable) with certain features remove (e.g. eval) should get through the approvals process and was contemplating testing that at some stage. That being said, having got into iPhone development I'm not convinced this would actually have a lot of practical value unless it included bindings to the various APIs. Steve

I googled for a build of tclsh that was supposed to run on the iphone, but it didn't work. If someone can get tclsh to run, I will gladly host it...

This is what I have come to understand too. You could include an interpreter if it doesn't go out and run random things, and is more or less self-contained with all its scripts and environment. What they don't want is someone creating a scripting environment that can then run random scripts that don't go through Apple's vetting process.
