Google introduces a “Simple” language for Android

I came across a blog post announcing Release of Simple, which is a language based on BASIC. Simple google code page (pun intended) has binary distributions available for download for Windows, Linux and Mac. Author has updated it with a couple of sample applications and a bunch of Reference pages in its Wiki. It is well-suited for “non-professional” programmers who want to develop applications on Android. If you ask me, it’s a remote possibility. But, it is a good gesture from Google to encourage adaptation of Android.
