For developers, the N900 is probably the greatest device, or at least so it is for me. I mean, what other device has a terminal window, Vim, a Python interpreter and the ability to chroot into Debian?

While learning a new programming language, I have often been very happy to be able to try things out directly on my phone; when I don't have another computer available. There are still a lack of ports of some compilers and/or interpreters. The ones I am myself interested in include:
  • GCC (for C)
  • (MIT/GNU) Scheme
  • (GNU) Forth
  • Scala
I would like to know what the interest for different compilers and interpreters are. Are anyone interested in porting some of these? I could probably try to port some myself as well.

My questions are:
  • Are you interested in the ones listed above, and/or some others (which?)?
  • Are you willing to port some of them?
