I dont care who's tooting the horn as long as it sounds good :) This seems to be what I am looking for ... some questions: 1.) AlchemyDB is written in ANSI-C, what are the requirements for your bindings (C++ at a minimum, any specifics on that) 2.) I just need one function wrapped, the function is called "client()" and it can take between 1 and 6 arguments.
And on a long shot, do you know of any C programs that embedded V8 and then the embedded v8 calls a C function via your bindings. This is what I am trying to reproduce in AlchemyDB (the C function would be "client()"). My intent w/ this is to open up Javascript routines w/in AlchemyDB that can access AlchemyDB's data-structures and perform logic datastore side. Pairing this w/ AlchemyDB's Node.js client could provide a very interesting architecture where ALL logic (client, server[Node.js], datastore[AlchemyDB) could be done in Javascript, meaning high reusability of JS libs accross an entire system.
