In Development
Our goal is for the Finch to be supported in most commonly used programming languages and environments. We or our partners are specifically targeting:
- Logo
- Calico (supports Python, Ruby, Scheme, F# (OCaml and ML), Boo, Lisp)
We are also more than happy to receive suggestions about which languages we should target next for Finch support.
