Ingy,

Very interesting...... No reason C'Dent could not work with OBj-C is there?

I also am curious what you are doing in Perl to allow this happen?

Are you also using domain socks ?

Or did you find another way to allow it to work?

In 2000, I wrote a Perl module called Inline.pm that let people write Perl functions in C. C functions right inside a Perl source, that were callable from Perl. Later, with some help Python, Ruby, Java and over 20 other languages were added. Write your Perl functions in anything...

A couple years later, Ryan from the Seattle.rb, wrote Inline for Ruby (binding only to C iirc). This kind of inter-lingual play should be easy to copy into Python.

Also last year, I gave a Seapig talk about C'Dent, a compiler that compiles Python, JS and Perl 6 modules into equivalent modules in over a dozen languages. (C'Dent is written in Python :). C'Dent currently only supports a trivial AST model, but this summer I plan to take up development again, and hopefully get far enough to solve some problems on RosettaCode.

Acmeism lives, Ingy

Okay all laughs aside and after I thought about this idea some more .

So why hasn't this idea not happened yet?

I once used another language that cross talked back and forth with Python via Unix domain sockets

So why hasn't someone come up with a better way that actually could cross talk back and forth to another language like Ruby from Python.

Or has someone for real?

Uh, look at the one file in the src directory.

PyRuby - Some Ruby for your Python!

It is a pretty interesting thought worth looking at if you ever need to
blend the two languages at times.

It's only been public for 2 days so check it out but know it's young yet.
