At least Haskell has some interface to C.
Maybe, you can describe a String interface of C to Axiom via a file?
Imagine the following.
(1) A C function char* axi(char* p)
takes a string starting from the place p and ending at a certain
`end' symbol
(I am trying to recall C, fix this, please, if necessary).
(2) It puts this string str to the file interf.input for Axiom.
(3) Axiom inputs str from this file,
parses it as a program call for the interpreter,
runs the interpreter, writes the result to str'
outputs str' to this file,
(4) axi inputs str' from this file and returns the pointer to the
head of str'.
Probably,
* axi must somehow open and close the file for output (?),
open/close the file for input,
* Axiom must apply )read "interf.input", )write "interf.input"
(?),
open/close the file for input, open/close the file for output (?)
-- all this to be done in an appropriate sequence.
How to arrange this?
What needs to be written and called at the Axiom end?
Maybe, if this works with a file, then one could think of a socket.
