Hi,

I’m a long-time developer who started out with C decades ago, but am just now getting started with development for Tizen wearable, having recently bought a Samsung Gear S2 watch.

Is there currently a way to develop for the wearables, with access to the Native APIs, in a higher-level language than C?

I considered investing time/effort into learning web application development for Tizen, but I notice the API access doesn’t seem to offer as much. For example, there seems to be no way to do libcurl or lower-level socket networking calls from javascript.

Ideally, I’d like to be able to write Tizen apps in a higher level language such as Lua or Python, but without bloating out and slowing down the application.

I would even suggest that if there were a way to access the full API in higher-level languages than C, we might have a lot more Tizen apps on the market. At present, the market seems to be mostly just watch faces!

Cheers

David
