Will OSFree have its own Python, Ruby on Rails, PHP, MYSQL, etc to make applications? It would be easier to promote if it did.

Even FreePascal would help.

There are Perl, Python, PHP, MySQL and FreePascal ports for OS/2 (not sure about Ruby -- never used it).
osFree aims to be binary compatible with OS/2, so all these languages should work with osFree in the
future.

Last I checked they had old versions of those languages for OS/2 as it lags behind Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Yes, unfortunately, FreePascal is still EMX-based. EMX is obsolete now; Python and Perl seems to be
up-to-date. Unfortunately, the manpower of OS/2 programmers is limited. So, someone needs to
update them, but still nobody to take. Volunteers are needed for porting each program, but too little OS/2
coders remained. There are yum/rpm ports maintained by guys from BWW, which are actively
developed. But there are only 3-5 people working on that. X11 (XFree86, X.Org) port to OS/2
is stalled, unfortunately, because no people to support it currently. osFree has limited manpower
too. There's only 1-2 active developers currently, that's why it's developing very slowly.
But you can try helping the project. New developers are always welcomed.

Excellent thread! I got valuable information here. Great learning. Keep sharing.
